**British Man Charged in Faux Wedding Case at Disneyland Paris: Child Involvement Shocked Authorities**
A British man with a criminal history involving minors was arrested after attempting to stage a mock wedding with a nine-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris.
In a troubling incident, Jacky Jhaj, a 39-year-old British man already on the sex offenders register, was charged by French police after attempting to organize a mock wedding at Disneyland Paris involving a nine-year-old girl. The attempted ceremony, which was set for Saturday, was thwarted when an actor, who had been hired to play the father of the bride, reported Jhaj's actions to the police.
Jhaj, who has a previous conviction for engaging in sexual activities with two 15-year-olds in 2016, has a lengthy history of staging questionable productions. According to a BBC investigation, he once recruited hundreds of children to act as fans at a fabricated film premiere in London. At that event, many children, some as young as six, were unaware of Jhaj's true identity and were instructed to act excitedly, leading to significant public concern about the safety and awareness of the children involved.
Evidence against Jhaj continues to mount. Following the BBC's ongoing investigations, he was caught on camera posing naked in front of a phony BBC News truck that was set ablaze in a bizarre act that raised alarms in the industry. For his recent Disneyland endeavor, arrangements had been made for approximately 100 extras, allegedly led by Jhaj’s production team.
After appearing before a judge in Meaux, northeastern Paris, Jhaj has been charged with various offenses, including fraud and identity theft, as well as designated as a suspect in more serious illicit activities. Notably, he reportedly altered his appearance to throw off officials and evade scrutiny.
Authorities confirmed that the Ukrainian girl involved arrived in France two days prior to the scheduled event but had not been subjected to physical harm or coercion. The prosecution noted that Disneyland Paris had been misled into believing Jhaj's arrangements were legitimate, which allowed access to the venue.
Jhaj's past continues to haunt him; despite his convictions, he returned to staging events involving children. An alarming YouTube account, portraying a performer's persona, amassed over 12 million subscribers and six million views, drawing sharp criticism concerning the platform's lack of oversight regarding his content.
As this case unfolds, a spokesperson for the UK's Metropolitan Police conveyed their awareness of Jhaj's arrest in France, acknowledging their involvement in coordination with French authorities regarding his violations of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. The shocking narrative of this man's activity underscores the pressing need for enhanced protections against potential predators and a reevaluation of oversight in media and public events involving children.
