In 2022, the Offender Database reported that Connor Jugessur, then 22, of Diamond Close, Energlyn, Caerphilly, Gwent, was sentenced for the possession of child abuse material. On Thursday, 30 June 2022, Jugessur appeared at Cardiff Crown Court for sentencing after being caught with anime-style cartoons depicting the rape of children as young as five.
The investigation established that Gwent Police executed search warrants in Rudry and Caerphilly in February 2021. Officers seized two laptops and a mobile phone, which contained two Category A images, eight Category B, and 22 Category C images. The prosecution reported that the collection included depictions of adults raping children and extreme pornography involving an animal. Jugessur provided a no-comment interview at the Ystrad Mynach custody unit before later admitting his actions were due to curiosity.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Jugessur was a repeat offender, having committed sexual assault against a child under 13 and possessing indecent images eight years prior. The judge emphasised that the nature of the anime images, which depicted children being raped, showed a deeply concerning interest. The prosecution emphasised that the defendant’s digital activity remained a significant concern for public safety.
The judge emphasised that Jugessur had searched for child sex abuse images across multiple devices. During the sentencing, it was reported that the defendant suffered from Asperger’s syndrome, which was considered in mitigation along with his early guilty pleas. However, the judge emphasised that his history of sexual offending against children meant he required statutory monitoring and mandatory treatment to prevent further conduct.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his crimes in Wales, Connor Jugessur was handed:
- Community Order: A three-year community order.
- Treatment: Mandatory completion of the Horizon sex offender treatment programme.
- SHPO: Made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
- Sex Offenders Register: Notification requirements were activated for five years.
- Convictions: Admitted possession of indecent photographs of a child, a prohibited image of a child, and an extreme pornographic image.
Monitoring and Public Protection
Jugessur is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Gwent Police and the Probation Service. Due to the nature of the rape depictions and his history of contact sexual assault, his management is under the highest level of scrutiny by the Public Protection Unit.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Jugessur must comply with mandatory notification requirements regarding his residence in Diamond Close, Energlyn, Caerphilly, Gwent. Authorities state that his history and the nature of his digital interests justify the strict conditions imposed on him by the SHPO and the Horizon programme. Any breach of his registration conditions or his community order will result in his immediate arrest and return to Cardiff Crown Court.
