Man jailed after admitting multiple sex offences

Jayke Bullivant pleaded guilty to multiple sex offences, including rape, involving four underage victims

A man has been jailed for nine years after admitting multiple sex offences, including rape, involving four underage victims.

Jayke Bullivant was charged with several offences of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity after he was found with a child who had been reported missing to West Midlands Police in December 2023, the force said.

During the police investigation, officers discovered Bullivant had also raped a child on two separate occasions.

The 19-year-old from Sutton Coldfield pleaded guilty to multiple offences at Birmingham Crown Court in October last year and was sentenced at the same court on 8 October.

The charges he admitted to included rape, attempted rape, sexual abuse of a child and inciting a child in sexual activity.

As well as a nine-year sentence, Bullivant received an extended licence period of eight years and was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order. He will remain on the sex offenders register for life.

Det Con Amelia Rose and Det Con Joshua Gemmell from the force said: "This sentence is reflective of the abuse suffered by four child victims.

"They have all shown immense courage throughout this investigation.

"We encourage anyone who has suffered abuse to come forward. You will be supported, and you will be believed."
