In 2022, Jonathan Baigent, the Fore Hamlet Paedophile, from Ipswich, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for transmitting “abhorrent” sexually explicit communications to a 13-year-old girl.
Jonathan Baigent utilised Instagram to communicate with the adolescent from Leicestershire while masquerading as a 38-year-old man from Portsmouth.
In 2020, the victim’s mother informed the police about the communications, prompting an investigation that resulted in the arrest and subsequent charges against Jonathan Baigent.
The then 45-year-old, Jonathan Baigent, received a 32-month prison sentence at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday for engaging in sexual communication with a minor and for two violations of Sexual Harm Prevention Orders.
