Name Changes Can't Hide Past Crimes | UK News

A registered sex offender just pulled off a shocking move—changing his name mid-trial to hide his crimes. Jason Brown, 50, has allegedly used up to 20 aliases and violated protective orders 12 times, including once while holding hands with a nine-month-old girl. He even changed his name to Seb Coe during his rape trial, hoping to shield the jury from his past. Though acquitted of the most serious charges, he’s now facing sentencing for violating a protection order. Downing Street is responding by pushing for stricter rules to prevent offenders from vanishing under new identities—and keeping victims safe.
