TOMASZ STEMPCZYNSKI

SELBY SEX OFFENDER JAILED FOR CHILD ABUSE MATERIAL

A "depraved" sex offender from Selby has been jailed just two months after receiving a suspended prison sentence.

In August Tomasz Stempczynski, 24, pleaded guilty to numerous offences including three counts of making indecent images and videos of children and possession of images and videos of extreme pornography involving sex with animals.

He received a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

He was also made subject to a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and placed on the Register of Sex Offenders.

However, Stempczynski, of The Waterfront, was arrested again on September 17 after officers caught him accessing online child abuse material from his home address.

Officers established that he had been using a new mobile phone which he had not informed police about and he also did not give officers the PIN to access the phone.

This was in clear breach of the SHPO.

It was also confirmed that Stempczynski had committed further offences in April and May 2020, which were also in breach of an interim SHPO and a Risk of Sexual Harm Order.

The 24-year-old was sentenced to two years and four months imprisonment at York Crown Court today, October 8.

Stempczynski was first arrested on May 23 in 2018 and the investigation, which involved extensive digital forensic examinations of phones and computers used by Stempczynski, resulted in guilty pleas for the following charges: three counts of making indecent images and videos of children (1,486 in the most serious Category A, 2,144 in Category B, and 1,752 in Category C), showing Category A indecent photographs to a child via a web-cam app in April 2017, showing Category A indecent videos to a child via a web-cam app in May 2017, possession of 170 prohibited images of children, possession of 46 images and videos of extreme pornography involving sex with animals.
