A predator has been sentenced to six years after he pleaded guilty to multiple child sex offences, exploitation and drug offences.

Timothy Glen Jarrett, 45, of Copmanthorpe, York, was made subject to two restraining orders for 10 years on top of his sentence today at York Crown Court.

Between April and June 2024, Jarrett supplied drugs to teenage girls in exchange for sex or sexual acts, and recorded these offences in which he forwarded at least one video to one of the girls.

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.”

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

During police investigations, Jarett’s phone was taken, where they uncovered child sexual abuse material with two of his associates.

In August, he pleaded guilty to multiple child sex offences.

Detective Constable Jenna Hallewell added: “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.
