SOUTHEND RAPIST SENTENCED TO 8 YEARS FOR CHILDLESS ASSAULT
Przemyslaw Ciecharowski, aged 36 and residing on Allenby Road, Southall, was sentenced to eight years in prison after being convicted of raping a woman at a derelict pub in Southend on May 29.The incident occurred at the Esplanade Pub on Southend seafront after Ciecharowski met the victim, a woman in her 20s, the night before the assault.
The court proceedings involved a trial at Basildon Crown Court, which concluded on November 28, leading to his conviction.
The sentencing took place on December 20 at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
Ciecharowski is now also subject to a Sex Offenders Notice.
Investigations into the case were led by DC Louise Sheridan-Brown, who stated, “We know that the victim repeatedly told him no, yet it has now been proven that he ignored her wishes and subjected her to what was a terrible ordeal.
She has displayed a huge amount of bravery and integrity throughout the investigation.
This is despite having to also ensure the process of a trial which was necessary because Ciecharowski refused to admit the attack.
This is a man who appears to have absolutely no concept of consent, and who took advantage of the victim in the most despicable manner.
Sex offenders should be aware that we will do everything in our power to bring them to justice.
I and the team are very pleased that the victim’s bravery and thorough police work, have resulted in this individual being faced with spending a number of years in prison.” The attacker was reportedly unrepentant, and the case has been widely covered in local media, including the Echo News, which detailed his sentencing history and the police investigation.
