In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Jordan Moody, 24, of Hainton Avenue, Grimsby, Lincolnshire, was jailed for a series of predatory sexual offences against young girls. On appearing at Grimsby Crown Court on 10 March 2026, the defendant admitted to sexual activity with two girls under the age of 16 and sexual communication with an underage girl. It was reported that Moody, who was already a convicted sex offender, used a fake Instagram account to groom his victims while bypassing court-ordered internet restrictions.
The investigation established that Moody began communicating with a 12-year-old girl on Instagram, pestering her for photographs and a meeting despite her repeatedly blocking him. Humberside Police reported that the victim eventually went to Moody’s home, where he engaged in sexual activity with her. The prosecution reported that while on bail for this offence, Moody targeted a 15-year-old girl, lying about his age and claiming to work in the music industry before sending her indecent images of himself.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Moody was in significant breach of a previous eight-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) which had been issued following convictions for making indecent images and possessing extreme pornography. Grimsby Crown Court heard how Moody refused to provide his phone PIN to officers and secretly obtained an unregistered computer to continue his predatory behaviour. The investigation established that Moody’s actions caused lasting harm to the victims, with their impact statements describing how the abuse had changed their daily lives.
Judge Richard Woolfall noted that Moody displayed an entrenched pattern of behaviour and a persistent sexual interest in children. For his actions in Grimsby, Moody was handed a custodial sentence of four years and eight months, with an extended licence period of a further five years. The judge noted that Moody posed a significant risk of causing further harm, officially classifying him as a dangerous offender.
