A CONVICTED Brit paedophileallegedly took a nine-year-old “child bride”; and her mum on holiday a year before arranging a grim wedding ceremony.

, 39, attempted to marry the young Ukrainian girl in Disneyland last month before the was arrested.

Jhaj reportedly spent over £111,000 on the sick wedding plans as he hired more than 100 actors to play guests at the staged event.

One of those recruited through a was told he would play the “father”; of the bride.

Devastated Vitalijs, 54, said he had no idea what he had signed up for prior to turning up in .

The former Russian special forces paratrooper was one of the first to about the sickening plot.

Vitalijs says one major warning sign of Jhaj’s true intentions came after he spoke to the bride-to-be’s mum.

She revealed the London-born predator had been in constant contact with the family for over a year.

Jhaj had spoiled the mum with and gifts and even paid for a family holiday, Vitalijs claimed.

He told The Telegraph: “This Ukrainian woman [the mother] told me that she had known this Jacky for a year.

“He paid her money and helped her family.

“They went somewhere together to relax, the three of them. I think he won her over with gifts.”;

Vitalijs, who only uses his first name for security reasons, also revealed he was offered £550 to play “the father of the bride”;.

But he was lied to as he signed up to give away the girl’s 41-year-old mother.

He soon realised inside the theme park the “bride”; was instead an underage girl as he immediately refused to be a part of the bizarre act.

Vitalijs then hatched a plan to get the ceremony cancelled as he broke into the park without a pass on the morning of the planned event.

Vitalijs approached the wedding stage and handed a note tostaff, who saw a “scared and confused”; child in a big dress with four-inch heels taped to her feet.

Staff managed to stop the wedding immediately and called the French cops.

Several suspects were arrested within minutes – including Jhaj and the girl’s mum.

Jean-Baptiste Bladier, the Meaux prosecutor, confirmed the Ukrainian child had not suffered “any violence, neither physical nor sexual”; and had “not been forced into playing the bride”;.

The mum was later released without charge but Jhaj was held after being labelled the “mastermind”; behind the operations.

It was then revealed that he had rented the resort outside of its opening hours to host the fake wedding.

His sick acts landed him charges of fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and identity theft.

He was also placed under assisted witness status for corruption of a minor.

After his arrest, the convicted paedophile told the examining magistrates in Meaux: “I’m just a simple actor who took part in a shoot”;.

His dark past was soon uncovered as in 2016 Jhaj was found guilty of sexual activity with two 15-year-olds in Britain.

The investigation into the fake wedding continues.
