A shocking case emerges as Jacky Jhaj is charged for a disturbing event involving a child at Disneyland Paris.
The troubling saga involving British national Jacky Jhaj continues to unfold after he was arrested in France for allegedly organizing a mock wedding to a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris. Jhaj, 39, previously found guilty of sexual offenses against minors, was reportedly preparing for the staged ceremony which was to involve a substantial cast of extras.
Jhaj's operation came to an abrupt halt when an actor he hired, tasked with portraying the father of the bride, alerted police about the planned event on Saturday. Arrested shortly thereafter, Jhaj now faces numerous charges, including fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, and identity theft. He is currently in pretrial detention following a court appearance in Meaux, located northeast of Paris.
The disturbing nature of this incident is exacerbated by Jhaj’s history. He has been on the sex offenders register since 2016, having served time for sexual activity with teenagers. According to reports following a BBC investigation, Jhaj had previously organized troubling public appearances that included hiring children to pose as fans at a mock film premiere—raising serious concerns about exploitation and safety.
At Disneyland, Jhaj's mock wedding endeavor included recruiting around 100 French extras to partake in the farcical plan. Preliminary evidence indicated that he may have altered his appearance significantly, employing professional makeup to disguise his identity.
Complicating matters, Jhaj has operated under a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which restricts his access to children. Despite these legal boundaries, he has audaciously continued staging productions involving minors without their awareness of his criminal history.
The French authorities confirmed that while the Ukrainian child involved had traveled to France shortly before the event, she was not a victim of physical or sexual harm and had not been coerced into the role. The investigation revealed that Disneyland Paris had unknowingly been deceived, as Jhaj utilized a forged Latvian ID to secure the location.
As the matter unfolds, questions surrounding the financing of such elaborate and troubling productions legal and ethical implications linger in the air. Adding a twist, the UK’s Metropolitan Police noted their awareness of the ongoing case and expressed intent to collaborate with French law enforcement regarding Jhaj’s previous breaches of legal restrictions. As communities demand accountability and stringent measures against those who exploit children, this disturbing situation brings to light the urgent need for empowered oversight in child-related activities within public spheres.
