Timothy Glen Jarrett – York

Predator jailed after admitting a string of child sex offences ⬇️

Timothy Glen Jarrett, 45, of Flaxman Croft, Copmanthorpe, York has been jailed for a total of six years after pleading guilty to a string of child sex offences, exploitation and drug offences.

As well as jail time, Jarrett was made subject to two restraining orders for 10 years to protect the victims.

Our investigation found that between April and June 2024, Jarrett was supplying drugs to teenage girls in exchange for sex or sexual acts, and recording these offences on video or images. He forwarded at least one video to one of the girls.

On one occasion, Jarrett drove one of the girls to his house where he gave her drugs and alcohol, had sex with her and filmed it on his phone.

During the investigation, Jarrett’s mobile was seized, where 36 Category A, 27 Category B, and 17 Category C child sexual abuse material were recovered. Jarrett shared two videos of this child sexual abuse material with two of his associates.

Jarrett pleaded guilty to the following offences in August 2025 and was sentenced at York Crown Court on 28 October 2025.

· 2 counts of arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation

· 2 counts of distributing an indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child

· 2 counts of making indecent photographs / pseudo-photographs of a child

· 3 counts of making indecent photographs / pseudo-photographs of a child

· 3 counts of offering to supply cocaine

· 2 counts of offering to supply ecstasy

· 2 counts of offering to supply a class B controlled drug – ketamine

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Jenna Hallewell, of North Yorkshire Police’s York and Selby Safeguarding Investigation Team, said: “Jarrett is a predatory offender who has targeted vulnerable girls to abuse for his own sexual gratification. The victims have been very brave in giving evidence that thankfully led to Jarrett pleading guilty and sparing them the experience of appearing in court. Their evidence has led to a sexual predator being taken off the streets.

“We urge anyone who is the victim of sexual abuse to please come forward – no matter when it happened. We have specially trained officers and work with partner agencies who can provide support and access to specialist services. If you prefer not to speak to us in the first instance, you can contact Acer House, North Yorkshire’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre.”

Reporting sexual abuse and getting help

If you are a victim of child abuse, regardless of when the abuse happened, or if you are worried for the safety or wellbeing of a child, find out in the comments below all the different ways you can get in touch.

Even if you’re not 100 per cent sure, please report your concerns.

If you suspect someone is in immediate danger, call 999 now. If it isn’t an emergency, please get in touch in any of these other ways
· call our non-emergency, 24/7 number: 101. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service on 18001 101
· Contact Acer House North Yorkshire’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre (link in comments below)
· visit a police station to speak to an officer in person
· contact the NSPCC to speak to a professional practitioner
· contact the children’s social care team at your local council
· contact Fearless confidentially and anonymously (link in comments below)

If you’re a child, you could also speak to someone you trust, like a friend, a teacher or another adult.

If you’re a professional working with children, remember you have a responsibility to refer your concerns to Children’s Social Care through your local council.
After you report child abuse to us, uniformed officers may take an initial report, after which specialist detectives may investigate. They’ll explain in detail what will happen next.

Neither you or the child will be forced to do anything you’re not comfortable with. However, we will always take action if we think a child is at risk of further harm.

The Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme lets you formally ask the police whether someone who has contact with a child or children:
· has a record for child sexual offences
· poses a risk to the child or children for some other reason
It’s not a law, but it is sometimes called ‘Sarah’s Law’. (find out more about Sarah’s Law in the link in the comments)
