In 2018, the Offender Database recorded that 21-year-old Jamie Gillett—of Prices Lane, Reigate—was jailed for four and a half years for a series of sexual offences involving young girls. Gillett appeared at Guildford Crown Court on 26 October 2018 having pleaded guilty to multiple charges. It was reported that the investigation established Gillett committed these offences over a four-year period between 2012 and 2016, targeting victims including a child under the age of 13.
The investigation established that Gillett’s criminal behaviour included three counts of sexual activity with a child and the sexual assault of a child under 13. The prosecution reported that Gillett also demonstrated a blatant disregard for previous legal interventions, as he was convicted of breaching a sexual risk order during the same period. Guildford Crown Court heard that Surrey Police used the conviction to urge parents and teenagers to remain vigilant regarding the signs of grooming and the importance of discussing consent.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Gillett’s actions were “predatory” and necessitated long-term statutory restrictions to protect the public. The investigation established that his offending began when he was in his mid-teens and continued into his early twenties. The prosecution reported that the survivor of the assault was granted permanent protection through the legal system, reflecting the “significant harm” Gillett had caused through his persistent grooming and abuse.
Judge-led proceedings at Guildford Crown Court concluded with Gillett being handed a custodial sentence of four years and six months. For his actions in Reigate and the surrounding Surrey area, he was also made subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and an indefinite restraining order against one of his victims. The judge noted that his placement on the sex offenders register for life was an essential measure to ensure his behaviour is monitored indefinitely upon his eventual release.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Gillett is managed as a high-risk registered sex offender within the Reigate area. Due to the nature of his conduct—specifically his “history of breaching sexual risk orders” and his “grooming of children”—his management is a priority for the Surrey Police Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his history of ignoring previous court restrictions identifies him as an individual who requires the most intensive tier of statutory oversight to ensure he does not return to targeting minors.
As a registered sex offender for life, the 28-year-old’s details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his indefinite SHPO is a vital safeguard, providing police with the power to monitor his movements and digital footprint at any time. Any change of residence in Reigate or elsewhere, any attempt to contact the victim protected by the restraining order, or any unauthorised proximity to children will result in immediate arrest to ensure the ongoing safety of the public from a man who demonstrated a persistent and “calculating intent” to exploit children.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was already under a “Sexual Risk Order” when he committed these further crimes, do you believe that “Order Breaches” should trigger a mandatory minimum 10-year prison sentence to prevent repeat grooming?
