A convicted pedophile who has already organized similar events may be behind the planning of a "wedding" with a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl at Disneyland Paris. This is reported by the BBC, citing sources.
According to sources, the "groom" was a 39-year-old Briton, known as a musician under the pseudonym Jackie Jhai, who in 2016 was convicted of sexual acts against two 15-year-olds. According to the BBC, after Jhai was released last year, he held several events similar to the "wedding" at Disneyland.
One of them is the fake premiere of the film in London in 2023, in which about two hundred children and young women played the role of Jhai's fans and welcomed him on the red carpet in Leicester Square. However, the fact is that the musician is under police supervision and is forbidden to contact children and visit places like Disneyland.It is noted that the French law enforcement officers still have questions for Jhai, since he organized the "wedding" at Disneyland using forged documents, posing as a citizen of Latvia.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office reported that the Ukrainian girl, who arrived in France two days before the event, was not subjected to either physical or sexually assaulted. According to media reports, her mother agreed to the incident, as she was promised that the girl would spend the day "like a princess."
The "wedding ceremony" was supposed to take place at Disneyland Paris on the weekend of June 21-22, but on the day of the event, its staff found out that the bride was only 9 years old. After the arrival of the police, it became known that the ceremony was staged, and about a hundred guests at it were hired actors. However, the police detained four people — the "groom" from the UK, the girl's mother, a 41—year-old Ukrainian, as well as two Latvian citizens who participated in the organization of the "wedding," the DW Main telegram channel writes.
As EADaily reported, Disneyland Paris was rented for a private event on June 21. However, when the guests and the main figures of the alleged wedding gathered, the employees of the amusement park called the police, because the bride turned out to be a little girl, the portal Le Parisien reported.
