Jahj, 39, previously jailed in the UK for child sex offences, is now on the run from British authorities, French prosecutors say.

The disgraced director and actor, from Feltham, was jailed in 2016 for four years after being found guilty on four counts of sexual activity with two 15-year-olds.
His latest arrest came on Saturday, with French police charging him with multiple offences on Tuesday.
The sex offender was allegedly the “groom” in a twisted mock wedding ceremony – involving a nine-year-old girl as “bride” – which played out before 100 guests at Disneyland Paris’ Sleeping Beauty castle.
Disney staff immediately called the police upon spotting a “scared and confused” child in a big dress with four-inch heels taped to her feet, reports French newspaper Le Parisien.
Jahj was described as the “mastermind” behind the sick stunt.
He has reportedly been charged with fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and identity theft.
Jahj and the girl’s 41-year-old mother, believed to be Ukrainian, were arrested, along with two others involved in the ceremony.
Both Disneyland Paris and the “guests” claim they were deliberately misled – none knew a child would be involved in the mock wedding.
The sex offender even conned Disney officials by “assuming the identity of a Latvian national and using false documents to secure the contract” of the park, according to a Meaux prosecuting spokesman.
Prosecutors confirmed on Tuesday that Jahj is known in the UK “for sexual offences against minors”.
Before his arrest, he drove around the streets of Hounslow, offering girls alcohol and claiming to be a Hollywood film producer.
After his conviction, Detective Constable Nav Johal, the investigating officer from Hounslow CID, said: “Thanks to the courage and bravery of the young vulnerable victims who gave evidence, a dangerous sexual predator has been brought to justice.
“I am hopeful that the verdict and sentencing will give them some peace and closure, and they will be able to, in time, move forward from this difficult period.”
But the convicted paedophile has pulled a string of bizarre stunts since being released from jail.
In September 2024, Jahj staged an explosion using an old BBC truck and Union Jack-draped vehicles packed with explosives, filming himself naked as the blaze spiralled out of control behind him.
The incident was reported to be a film production stunt.
But it triggered panic, with hundreds of calls flooding emergency services as locals feared a terrorist attack.
Residents were not warned beforehand and only found out afterwards through a post on the Borough of Greenwich’s official Facebook page.
A year before the explosion, footage surfaced of Jahj mixing with around 200 children and 100 young women at a film shoot in London’s Leicester Square.
The shoot, which shows some of the children touching Jhaj, took place on October 17, 2023, the BBC revealed at the time.
The BBC reported that the organiser of the event – known as “Project BRT” – hired 90 children aged six to 14 from an agency called Jam 200
The production also booked around 100 young women between the ages of 16 to 24 from Uni-versal Extras.
A Met spokesperson said: “A 39-year-old man is wanted by the Met Police for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a breach of a Sex Offenders’ Register notification requirement.
“We are aware the man has been arrested in France for other matters and officers are in contact with the French authorities.”
