A man who raped and repeatedly assaulted a woman in Gravesend has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.Pawel Kraweic, 47, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to three counts of assault but denied the charge of rape.
Following a trial at Maidstone Crown Court, a jury found him guilty and he was sentenced on Friday, December 20.
Between January and March Kraweic assaulted the victim on three occasions, causing serious injuries to her face and body.
He also raped her during this period.
Officer in charge, PC Beverley Ritter of North Kent Vulnerability Investigation Team, said: "This was a very serious and complex case.
Kraweic took advantage of a vulnerable victim and subjected her to repeated abuse knowing she was frightened of him.
His appalling and threatening behaviour has led to a significant custodial sentence.
I would like to commend the victim for her bravery throughout this case and I am pleased we have secured justice for her."
