An extensive investigation reveals more sinister undertones to elaborate productions linked to a convicted pedophile.
British national Jacky Jhaj, previously convicted for sexual offenses against minors, has been arrested in France after organizing a mock wedding at Disneyland Paris, featuring a nine-year-old girl. Jhaj, now 39, was charged with multiple offenses including fraud and breach of trust, following a police intervention initiated by an actor he hired to play the “father” role at the event.
Jhaj’s history of exploitation began in 2016, which led to his inclusion on the sex offenders register. He allegedly evaded restrictions to continue orchestrating dubious productions involving children. In 2023, he garnered attention for staging a fake film premiere in London, hiring hundreds of child actors to pose as fans, prompting investigations into his activities.
The recent mock wedding incident drew the involvement of around 100 French extras and was reportedly set to be filmed by Jhaj’s team. Eyewitness accounts from the French prosecutor revealed Jhaj had undergone significant disguise to alter his appearance, highlighting the lengths he would go to mislead authorities.
Authorities are currently scrutinizing how Jhaj funded these extravagant productions, with reports suggesting that the Disneyland mock wedding alone could have cost over €130,000. Although the Ukrainian girl involved had reportedly not been coerced or victimized physically, her participation raises serious ethical and legal questions. The prosecutor emphasized Disneyland Paris had been “deceived” in the hiring process, utilizing a fraudulent Latvian ID.
In a remarkable twist, the UK’s Metropolitan Police confirmed that they were already investigating Jhaj for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order before his arrest in France. The complex web of his activities underscores the challenges of safeguarding underage performers in an entertainment industry increasingly beset by issues of safety and exploitation.
