In 2012, 22-year-old Scott Jackson, of Kennedy Close, Dereham, was jailed for eight years after carrying out a predatory series of assaults against a string of underage girls. The investigation established that Jackson targeted eight victims aged between 13 and 15, specifically utilizing roller skating venues as hunting grounds to find vulnerable children. The prosecution reported at Norwich Crown Court on Monday 30 January 2012, that Jackson was convicted of seven counts of sexual activity with a child and admitted to having sex with six other girls, identifying a total abandonment of human decency by the 22-year-old.
The investigation established that Jackson’s series of behaviour was so persistent that he was banned from a venue in Norwich due to safeguarding concerns. The prosecution reported that instead of ceasing his activity, he travelled to a roller skating centre in Colchester to target new victims. This identifies a calculated series of assaults on the life-safety of minors, as Recorder Guy Ayers noted Jackson used significant influence to coerce girls as young as 13 into sexual activity, displaying an arrogant disregard for any warnings.
JUDICIAL SANCTIONS AND LIFETIME MONITORING
The court reported that Jackson’s behaviour constituted a “long-running campaign” of preying on children, necessitating a sentence intended to deter others. The investigation established that although the defence claimed Jackson was “immature” and full of regret, the judge found his actions to be those of a deliberate predator. The prosecution reported in 2012, that Jackson was sentenced to eight years in prison, identifying a priority assault by the judiciary to enforce a lifetime ban on him visiting any roller skating rink in the country.
Judge-led proceedings at Norwich Crown Court concluded with Jackson being placed on the sex offenders’ register for life. For his actions in Dereham, Norwich, Colchester, and across Norfolk and Essex, and the nature of the series of child abuse and predatory grooming investigations reported, Scott Jackson was removed from the community. The investigation established that his forensic profile as a high-risk predator is now a matter of permanent record, and he is banned from unsupervised contact with any child under 16.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2012, Jackson was managed as a maximum-risk predator under the statutory requirements of the Norfolk MAPPA unit. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in moving between skating rinks to find victims—he was a priority for a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) banning him from all such venues nationwide. Authorities reported that the 2012 sentencing identifies Jackson as an individual who prioritised his own perverted gratification and the “coercion” of children over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of the public.
As a registered sex offender for life, his details are permanently logged on the national police database to ensure his future conduct and any attempt to enter leisure facilities are strictly blocked. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Jackson identifies a commitment to clandestine child abuse and the systematic exploitation of youth-centric environments. His removal to prison in 2012 results in the necessary protection of the community from a man who used a “roller skater” mask to hide a predatory and persistent series of assaults on the innocent.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “specifically targeted roller skating rinks to find victims and moved to a different city when he was caught,” do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Convicted Pedophiles” must be “Sentenced to Mandatory Inclusion on a Publicly Accessible Facial Recognition Database” for all leisure venue staff to check to prevent a series of assaults?
