HIV-positive SA pedophile Jadd William Brooker admits to 38 crimes against children

HIV-positive pedophile Jadd William Brooker is officially one of the worst predators in SA history, having now admitted to 38 crimes against children.

HIV-positive pedophile Jadd William Brooker has confessed to two more child-abuse crimes – officially making him one of the worst sex criminals in South Australian history.

In the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Thursday, Brooker pleaded guilty to the final two charges that had been laid against him.

He admitted that, at Glenelg between January 1 and February 18, 2017, he produced child exploitation material.

He also pleaded guilty to having communicated with a child, for a prurient purpose, on November 6, 2018.

The confessions mean Brooker now stands to be sentenced, in the District Court, for 38 child-abuse and sex crimes committed over a six-year period.

Brooker, 38, of Glenelg East, has already earned two sentencing discounts for pleading guilty to dozens of child-sex charges.

He will receive up to 40 per cent off his prison time for confessing to seven crimes just weeks after his arrest in September, and 15 per cent for 32 guilty pleas in May.

Previously, the court has heard Brooker expressed his intention to infect adults and children with HIV and filmed himself attempting to do so, meaning a victim had to be tested.

Prosecutors alleged he had committed “category five” crimes – involving acts such as coerced bondage, sadism, torture or bestiality – against six children and teenagers.

They also alleged the 4.5 million files of child abuse material on Brooker’s electronic devices could link him to pedophiles in Australia and around the world.

Investigations into that material led to the arrests of ex-Labor staffer Ben Waters – who on Monday pleaded guilty – ex-corrections officer Stewart Iain Berry and a third man.

Prosecutors last month dropped two of Brooker’s remaining charges but said they would proceed with two more.

Brooker’s early guilty pleas to the bulk of his offending earned him significant sentencing discounts. Picture: Facebook.

On Thursday, Brooker – who has been in custody since his arrest – was remanded in custody to face the District Court in September.

At that hearing, a date for sentencing submissions will be set.
