Stoke man jailed for rape and voyeurism
Jaroslaw Adamkowski, 42, of Stoke-on-Trent, appeared at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court yesterday
A man who raped and recorded a woman undressing in Stoke-on-Trent has been jailed for seven years and seven months.
Jaroslaw Adamkowski, 42, of Stoke-on-Trent, appeared at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court yesterday (Thursday 15 January) and was jailed after previously pleading guilty to the rape of a woman and two counts of voyeurism – recording a private act.
He raped the survivor in February last year and also recorded her in a state of undress on two occasions, without her knowing, in January. We later found the videos after examining his phone.
The survivor bravely came forward and reported the abuse to us, prompting an investigation. Adamkowski was arrested and brought in for questioning, where we secured the charges against him.
As part of his sentencing, Adamkowski was also put on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.
Detective Sergeant Razwana Nasheen, from the rape and serious sexual offences unit, said: “We’re determined to seek the toughest possible punishment in court for those guilty of these types of offences and to deliver positive outcomes for survivors.”
