BIRMINGHAM MAN WHO 'ABDUCTED' 14-YEAR-OLD MISSING GIRL TOLD GO BACK TO OWN COUNTRY
A man accused of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl who was reported missing has been instructed by a judge to return to his home country.It’s important to note that the phrase was not intended offensively—as it is sometimes used—to refer to Czech national Kamil Gina.
Instead, the remark was a piece of advice to the 23-year-old, who expressed his intention to go back to the Czech Republic and start anew there after serving his prison sentence.
Gina, residing on Alexander Road in Acocks Green, pleaded guilty to an offence under the Child Abduction Act, specifically for unlawfully detaining a minor to keep her away from someone with lawful control.
He was sentenced to two years in prison by Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday, March 19.
Prosecutor Olivia Appleby explained that the girl was in foster care and had a history of running away.
She was also classified as a high-risk individual vulnerable to sexual exploitation.
Ms.
Appleby added: “Foster carers believed that the defendant and the girl were involved in a sexual relationship.
He was supplying her with drugs and alcohol.” Police responded to an incident in July of last year involving both Gina and the girl, during which Gina was described as intoxicated and aggressive.
The day after, Gina received a child abduction warning notice, which prohibited him from being in the girl’s company.
However, two days later, the girl went missing once more.
Police attended Gina’s residence and observed her climbing out of a ground-floor window.
Ms.
Appleby stated: “The defendant made deliberate efforts to avoid arrest.” “Officers gained entry and found the defendant hiding with an object pressed to his neck, which was already bleeding.” Judge Andrew Lockhart KC expressed that he had “no doubt” Gina was involved in a sexual relationship with the girl and noted that he presented a danger to young people.
He added that Gina could expect to serve approximately 40% of his two-year sentence in custody before being released.
The judge concluded by saying: “When you are released, you should return to the Czech Republic and aim to build a good life there.”
