Howlong sex offender lives in online fantasy world from parent’s home
8 Sep 2016, 2:30 p.m.
A CON artist and registered sex offender with at least eight aliases has been caught using online dating services to have sex with women in breach of his reporting conditions.
Brenton Robert Jarrett, 44, has previously claimed to be Johnny Depp’s brother, actor Skeet Ulrich and the grandson of Hollywood film director Alfred Hitchcock.
The reality is Jarrett lives in Howlong with his parents on a disability pension and uses the internet to build a fantasy world for himself.
He also has conditions as a sex offender that he keep police briefed on any changes to his personal circumstances, including online usernames and accounts.
Jarrett has a week to report any changes, but failed to tell police about subscriptions to Tinder, Kik, Sugar Daddy Meet, Sugar Elite Australia and Seeking Arrangement.
He has used the apps and sites to have sex with three women.
Officers checked in on Jarrett at his parents’ home on March 30.
He gave permission for them to look at his mobile phone and they discovered the unreported dating apps and sites and arrested him.
Police facts tendered to Albury Local Court note that without the internet, Jarrett would most likely be unable to commit his offences.
“The accused stated to police that he enjoys the fanciful, anonymous and opportunistic environment that the internet offers,” the facts state.
“The accused admitted to police to meeting with three of these women and engaging in consensual sexual intercourse following conversations had on these applications and online dating subscriptions.”
He was sentenced in Albury Local Court on Tuesday to a minimum five months in jail, backdated to his arrest in March, and a maximum term of 10 months.

Conman’s jail reduced by a month
Oct. 24, 2014, midnight
SERIAL conman Brenton Robert Jarrett yesterday had two jail terms varied for offences of failing to comply with conditions imposed on him as a registered sex offender.
Jarrett, 42, of Howlong, appeared in the District Court at Albury for severity appeals lodged after he was jailed in July.
Magistrate Tony Murray imposed 12-month jail terms with a minimum of six months for eight fraud offences.
But Jarrett was given 14 months, with a minimum of eight months, for two matters of failing to comply with conditions as a sex offender.
Solicitor Elizabeth Bushby said there were no appeals against the fraud penalties, only the other two matters.
Ms Bushby said Jarrett suffered from bipolar disorder and suffered from grandiose ideas or beliefs.
Judge Robert Cogswell varied the first breach of the registered sex offender conditions from a jail term to a three-year bond.
The second offence was altered to a 13-month jail sentence with a minimum of seven months.
He will now be eligible for release from custody on February 21 next year.
Jarrett, who has previously claimed to be Johnny Depp’s brother, US actor Skeet Ulrich and the grandson of legendary Hollywood film director Alfred Hitchcock, attended the Albury police station on May 10 to advise he had a new mobile phone number and email address at DM Productions.
Jarrett said it was his new venture, but indicated it was not a registered company.
Four days later a representative from the modelling industry contacted Albury detectives with concerns about a man named Robbie Caine, from DM Productions.
Detectives were told “Caine” had contacted a number of models’ Facebook pages and claimed he was a part-owner of the Nine Network.
He tried to organise meetings with the models on the premise of offering weather presenter positions.
The industry representative believed “Caine” was really Brenton Jarrett and told him so in a conversation.
Jarrett was put on the NSW Child Protection Register after being charged in Victoria with offences relating to a teenage girl.
He met a girl, 14, on a Sydney-bound train on January 20, 2012, said he owned a modelling agency and told her she had the looks for a model.
Jarrett and the girl exchanged text messages from January 25 to February.
