A love rat conman who had multiple affairs and was into sex with swingers was branded a ‘dishonest parasite’ by a judge who jailed him for six years.<\/p>\n
Yesterday the judge was told that Jiro Wilson’s crimes saw him benefit to the tune of \u00a3373,939 – but he was ordered to pay back just \u00a337,230 from realisable assets.<\/p>\n
Wilson ripped off four women to the tune of \u00a346,000 in less than 18 months by promising them riches from his so called business venture.<\/p>\n
He began relationships with them – several at a time – but also spent their investment money on escorts and swingers.<\/p>\n
Wilson admitted defrauding the women as well as ripping off the taxman to the tune of \u00a3238,000 by fake VAT claims and a \u00a350,000 bounce back Covid loan for his firm which was already defunct.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u00a0used to rent part of a large country house (pictured) and the owner said Wilson bought flash cars and motor bikes<\/p>\n
Wilson, 52, was jailed for a total of six years earlier this year – but was back in court for a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Mary McCarthy said he set up a water company called Tor Water in Exeter, Devon, in 2017 without any funds to do so.<\/p>\n
At one point he only had \u00a34 in his bank but he preyed on trusting women whom he romanced and they began investing money into his firm.<\/p>\n
One woman, a mum of two, gave him \u00a320,000 from money she had inherited to help him start up the business – with promises of paying her back in two years.<\/p>\n
Other women were sucked in by his smooth talking – and some of the victims fell for his charms and one lived with him for nearly seven years before she exposed his cheating after examining his phone.<\/p>\n
Another woman who believed in his venture\u00a0is said to have lost more than \u00a3200,000 but her losses were not included in the criminal charges against him.<\/p>\n
Wilson, who kept saying he had money in a flat in Exmouth, Devon, which was repossessed, promised the victims shares in the business- but it was all lies and he spent their money on himself.<\/p>\n
He used to rent part of a large country house and the owner said Wilson bought flash cars and motor bikes.<\/p>\n
Landlord Mark Turner branded him a narcissist saying: ‘Nothing is his fault, he is completely feckless.’<\/p>\n
At Exeter Crown Court, Wilson’s lawyer Warren Robinson said: ‘He was always upfront about being part of the swingers’ community.’<\/p>\n

Wilson bought flash cars and motorbikes with the hundreds of pounds he defrauded<\/p>\n

One victim, Amy Garwood, who had lived with him, is still paying off debts caused by him.<\/p>\n
She said he spent cash on other women having numerous affairs and ‘spending money to see an escort’.<\/p>\n
‘He was very manipulative and called me paranoid. I knew he was seeing other women but he always had an answer or an excuse. I was taken for an idiot.’<\/p>\n
Judge David Evans said the women got together to bring a private prosecution against him following official indifference but the judge stopped the trial to get the CPS involved because of other wrongdoing by Wilson.<\/p>\n
The judge called him a ‘dishonest parasite’ and awarded the women \u00a3500 each for exposing his lies.<\/p>\n
The judge also slammed ‘how obscenely easy’ it was for Wilson to scam the State out of the Covid bounce back loan and scam the VAT money from HMRC.<\/p>\n
Wilson was also banned from being a company director for 15 years because the judge said he was ‘utterly unfit’ to be one.<\/p>\n
Ian Hackett, from the HMRC fraud service, said: ‘The behaviour of Jiro Wilson is deplorable, he used fraudulently obtained Government money to fund his personal lifestyle during the height of the Covid pandemic.’<\/p>\n
