Jayke Bullivant

Jayke Bullivant, a 19-year-old from Falcon Lodge Crescent, Sutton Coldfield, was jailed for nine years with an extended eight-year licence after admitting to a series of grave sexual offences against a child. The offences included rape, attempted rape, sexual abuse of a child, and inciting a child into sexual activity. Bullivant targeted a child who had gone missing, exploiting their vulnerability in a predatory manner.

Details from the case, reported by Birmingham Live and handled by West Midlands Police, reveal that Bullivant's actions came to light through investigative efforts following the child's disappearance. He pleaded guilty to the charges at Birmingham Crown Court in October 2025, sparing the victim from having to relive the trauma in a full trial. The court heard how Bullivant's behaviour constituted a pattern of sexual exploitation, with the extended licence period designed to protect the public post-release.

'These admissions reflect the severity of the crimes committed against a vulnerable child,' stated a representative from the Crown Prosecution Service during sentencing. The case underscores the dangers faced by missing children and the importance of swift police response. Bullivant, previously of no fixed notoriety, now faces significant restrictions upon any future release, as outlined in the judge's ruling. Sources confirm the offences occurred prior to his arrest, though exact dates remain under reporting restrictions to safeguard the victim.
