A story of how the “trans narrative” allowed an opportunistic sex offender to be welcomed into the Kearsarge public school community to offend its children
Marc Jacques presented as a loving father and trans advocate in the community of Newbury, NH. He was happily married with two children before the Covid pandemic hit. Then his world began to crash down around him. He became isolated, then obsessed with pornography, quickly developing a full-blown sex addiction. He led his son to believe he was a trans child. A female in a man’s body. His youngest son was now presenting as a female in school, giving Marc Jacques access to school-aged females daily. This was his desired age range for viewing deviant sexual content. He began to perseverate over his son’s gender and the activities his son could participate in as a female. His wife was not convinced that their son should be playing girl’s designated sports, and Marc’s sex addiction became unbearable. She eventually divorced him, later marrying a woman.
Marc became dangerously obsessed with teen females and began to illegally share doctored sexual photos and videos of local girls. He would superimpose the faces of local females onto sexual images then share those images with at least one other offender. He shared that child’s Instagram account information and urged the offender to contact the child. He was found with hundreds of child sexual abuse images and videos on his devices and was ordered to pay restitution to four local families. Jacques was convicted in March 2024 but continued to attend school functions and sports events through November of 2024, despite his bail conditions requiring a supervisor when he was around children not his own.
Marc Jacques convinced the Kearsarge School District to violate New Hampshire House Bill 1205 protecting girl’s sports from biological males. He manipulated them into following the trans narrative above the law. Maelle Jacques was given permission by the school board to participate in both girls’ track and girls’ soccer in violation of NH House Bill 1205. Two other male players in New Hampshire received court injunctions to play girl’s sports, but Maelle Jacques was not one of them, leaving the school in a legal bind. They could go with the trans narrative and play Maelle as a female, or follow the state law and allow him only on the boy’s team. They chose the narrative and played Maelle as a female in his desired sports, inviting Dad deeper into a dangerous circle of teen girls. Maelle first dominated in track and field, winning a title in the high jump. His participation in girl’s soccer is where the narrative went really awry.
When parents from opposing schools began to hear about a biological male playing on the Kearsarge girl’s high school soccer team, they were inquisitive and began investigating. They expressed concern about safety and fairness for the girls. Many student-athletes refused to play soccer against Maelle Jacques, but most games went on. When Hillsboro-Deering High School came to Kearsarge High School to play, the H-D team was short five players. Five girls refused to get on the bus at all because of the male player, Maelle Jacques. They didn’t know then how important that decision was at the time. They didn’t know that playing against a male player wasn’t their only danger. They were being presented as bait for a convicted sex offender attending the games.
Parents, players (less 5) , and the media attended the Kearsarge Hillsboro-Deering game in Sutton,NH. They witnessed a one-sided game due to the five players staying behind. In the end, Maelle Jacques didn’t even get a chance to make any plays in goal (his position). The play never made it around to the Kearsarge goal at all. It was a blowout. The game was so one-sided that it was sad. Parents were left feeling disgusted by the event. It was a media show and not a fair game. But when parents reviewed the media stories the next day, they saw something they weren’t expecting. They found an article about Marc Jacques, the FATHER of the male player. The Department of Justice article reported that he was a convicted sex offender awaiting the start of his sentence. But wait, was HE there??? Did he attend the game, too? A male on the girl’s team AND a dangerous sex offender in attendance? Parents wanted to know the truth. So, one parent called the Sutton Police Department to inquire the day after the game. What she found out would blow this story up.
A Hillsboro Deering parent called the Sutton Police Department and asked if they were aware of Marc Jacques attending the high school soccer games. They said they were aware. They were asked if they were aware of his convictions for sex crimes against children. They said yes. They were asked how they were protecting the community from Marc Jacques committing additional crimes before his incarceration started. The Sgt said the department had an officer attending all home soccer games. When asked if Marc Jacques had a phone with him at games and if he had the ability to use it, the answer was yes, he brought a phone and uses it during games. When asked about away games, the Sgt said the department did not attend any away games, nor did they alert that school (or their local police) about Marc Jacques’s attendance at those games. The Sgt asked if the caller could alert the others because she couldn’t.
The mother was in total disbelief. How can they know he attends away games and not say anything? How can they have read his bail conditions and chose to ignore them? It said he was not allowed around children (not his own) without supervision. Standards in NH are to have a trained chaperone as the “supervisor.” He was always alone at games. The parent calling was previously a sex offender counselor at the NH State Prison, so she knew what the standards were and how to read all of the legal documents. She knew something really stunk here. She, indeed, was planning on alerting the others. She just didn’t know how hard it would be to sound the alarm.
Kearsarge High School was set to play Hopkinton High School next. The same parent called the school in an attempt to warn them about Marc Jacques and to remind them of House Bill 1205, making it illegal to play a biological male on a girl’s designated team. When she called, the principal and vice principal were out of the building, but she spoke with the athletic director. She told him about Marc Jacques and his crimes. She warned him that Marc Jacques was violating his bail conditions and attending games, always with his phone out. She begged the athletic director to call the Sutton police or the Department of Justice to confirm. Instead, she was told none of what she claimed was true, and the game would go on. So she told a friend to meet her there, and she went to see for herself. The first person she saw upon arriving was MARC JACQUES! He was standing near the parking lot behind the visiting goal. He had his phone out! She was shaken. She waited for her friend and confirmed his identity with those who knew him. It was him! Once her friend arrived, they stood at a distance taking photos and video of Mr. Jacques. He was alone with his phone out, watching the game.
After halftime, Marc Jacques put on a jacket and went down to the field, mingling with the crowd. He watched from the sidelines for the rest of the game. Children were all around him; one child, around 7 years old, was playing around him, almost bumping into him and starting small talk. A concerned parent intervened when this occurred, leading the child back to his mother and warning her. The timing!!!
The game was ending just as this incident occurred, so Marc Jacques went to his car and waited for his son. The parents who knew were so upset. They knew they had to take further measures to warn the community. No one is watching this offender. But how can you alert people who prefer the narrative over safety?
Concerned parents were now multiplying, and calls were going out to multiple sources. Articles began to be published in local outlets like Granite Grok, (and eventually the NH Patch, the NH Journal, and the TV news WMUR). Eventually, after calling the federal probation/parole officer, the local probation and parole office chief, the offender’s therapist, and the Sutton Police, someone began listening. It was the Department of Justice’s Office of External Engagement. The public relations officer (Jennifer Kuron) was aware of the case and was very upset to hear that Mr. Jacques’ pre-incarceration time was not being spent as expected. She gave the caller her word that she would look into the claims. Marc Jacques was arrested three days later. The mother who sounded the alarm attended his next hearing. It was extremely unusual to have an additional hearing between completed sentencing and the start of one’s incarceration. His attorney quit, and the hearing was postponed. He was eventually remanded to prison without setting foot back in the community.
The Problem
The time he was allowed to be free after being caught was too extensive. The feds have been known to give time to offenders between sentencing and incarceration to attend to planning for their long-term absence. Most offenders follow their bail conditions, arrange for their absence, and show up for their sentence. This was not the case here. For some odd reasons (likely political reasons or for the trans narrative) Marc Jacques was given an extended period of time before his incarceration was set to start. He pled that his trans child needed protection and advocacy and that his older son needed to be sent off to college. He was given THREE MORE MONTHS before he was to begin his incarceration. He was convicted SIX MONTHS EARLIER in March, sentenced in September, and was scheduled to begin his sentence in December. In November, new parents saw him alone at away games. He had NINE months to re-offend once he was caught. And he DID! After parents sounded the alarm, the DOJ found more criminal evidence! Another thumb drive with more child sexual abuse images was found when the supervising officer finally took a look. It appears Marc Jacques was given many opportunities to re-offend AFTER he was caught. The amount of potential criminal content is terrifying.
When Marc Jacques pled guilty (in March of 2024), he worked at Dartmouth College in The Office of Family Giving and Engagement as a Family Giving Coordinator since September 2022 (per his LinkedIn). He pled guilty on March 18th, was sentenced on September 9th, and lost his job on September 18th, six months after pleading guilty. He had six months of working around students, and no one noticed how inappropriate that was, not even his probation/parole officer. No worries. Once the college caught him, he just pivoted and went where there were again no boundaries, to the local high school where his son played on the girls’ team. Because of the trans narrative, his presence was welcomed rather than shunned. He was given a team vest and was allowed on the sidelines. His offenses were either not known or totally ignored. He was on their volunteer list, having had his background check done years before. His conviction in March went unnoticed. His sentencing in September also went unnoticed. It wasn’t until mid-November that parents got someone to listen, and Jacques was finally picked up. The parents believed he’d never show up for his incarceration and feared he’d abscond WITH his trans-identifying child. He is Canadian.
Reports say Jacques was found with more criminal images and videos after his supervising officer finally checked in. He was given a hearing regarding the new evidence, and he eventually waived it, going straight into his 20-month incarceration. He will likely have new charges from the newly found thumb drive and potentially from his Dartmouth College and/or his Canadian devices, not yet fully forensically reviewed. He worked for the Canadian government prior to his job at Dartmouth. Access to his Canadian devices has been especially difficult due to issues with jurisdiction. The political implications here are huge. Jacques proudly stood with Justin Trudeau in a photo he shared on Facebook. Were his extended offending opportunities given for political reasons, because of the trans narrative, or some other special circumstance we haven’t discovered yet? Why would a dangerous sex offender get nine months of relative freedom before he was set to begin his incarceration? What would you really expect to happen during those 9 months?
