The Bishop Brady Girls High soccer team decided to protect their girls from multiple dangers this week. The team chose to cancel the game against a transgender player whose father happens to be a recently convicted sex offender.
Marc Jacques reportedly attends all of his child’s “girl’s” soccer games, home and away, while he awaits the start of his incarceration. He has been seen with a phone out and mingling in the crowd at multiple games. His presence has now out-shadowed that of his trans-identifying child.

Court documents show the father, Marc Jacques, pled guilty to possessing and distributing child sexual abuse images. He was reportedly taking pictures of minor females in the community and superimposing their faces onto sexual images. He then shared those images with other sex offenders along with the child’s Instagram account. He then urged at least one sex offender to contact the child1. He is paying restitution to 4 identified victims. Marc Jacques was also found with hundreds of child sexual abuse images on his devices.
Jacques was sentenced on September 9, 2024, but he will not begin his 60 months of federal incarceration until December 2, 2024. That grace period includes some basic restrictions, but he has been seen with his phone out at soccer games* and mingling with the crowds.
He self-reports having a sex addiction. He also reports through court documents that the child’s mother is not supportive of their biological male child playing on the Kearsarge girl’s soccer team. Custody is reportedly shared with the mother, who he is divorced from. She resides in the same school district.
Mitigating Risks
Bishop Brady High School canceled their recent game with Kearsarge to protect their girls from several risks. Trans-identifying player Maelle Jacques has been participating in violation of New Hampshire House Bill 1205, which prohibits biological males from playing on girls’ designated sports teams, all while the athlete’s sex offender father appears to be taking his privilege to attend his child’s games beyond the community’s comfort level and his conditions.
The risks at Kearsarge girl’s soccer games are now twofold. One boundary violation led to another one. If you play against the trans-identifying player, you invite the sex-offending father into the mix. Police have not taken any actions to date regarding the community’s allegations of Marc Jacques’ condition violations.
What will the next high school do? Kearsarge plays several more games. Will the next school ignore the risks and say nothing, or alert the parents and request some form of informed consent before proceeding with their game? Some parents attending games were upset to find out, after the fact, that their daughters and guests were potentially exposed to a sex offender violating his conditions. Many had no idea a trans-identifying player was even playing. Will anyone warn the next schools, Sandborn and Newfound? Will they play?
