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.
