WOJCIECH OKAPIEC'S REIGN OF TERROR IN WEST LOTHIAN: COURT DISRESPECT AND ABUSE REVEALED

Wojciech Okapiec, a man with a long history of domestic violence, has been identified as a relentless abuser who inflicted years of physical, emotional, and psychological torment on his victim in West Lothian. Despite his extensive criminal record and ongoing pattern of manipulation and violence, he narrowly escaped a custodial sentence, leaving the victim and her child without the justice they desperately needed.

During his recent court appearance, Okapiec and his current girlfriend displayed blatant disrespect for the judicial process. They sat in the courtroom, laughing and smirking throughout the proceedings, as if the charges against him were a mere joke. Their behavior was a stark display of contempt, and even as the judge outlined the severity of his crimes, they left the court smiling, seemingly mocking the victim and demonstrating their pride in having avoided imprisonment by a slim margin.

Although the judge acknowledged that Okapiec’s actions warranted a prison sentence, he was ultimately sentenced to only community service. This leniency was largely attributed to false claims made by his lawyer, who argued that Okapiec had made efforts to reform his life. In reality, evidence of his recent conduct was ignored, including a police raid on his home just days before sentencing, which was dismissed in court.

Okapiec’s criminal history is extensive, including multiple assaults, drug-driving charges, and other violent offenses. Yet, the court dismissed this background as “irrelevant” to the current case. Throughout the proceedings, he continued to manipulate perceptions, convincing others that he had changed—a tactic he repeatedly used to deceive the victim.

The victim was offered a mere £400 in compensation, an insult considering the years of hardship she endured. She was forced to flee her home multiple times, rebuild her life from scratch, and raise their child alone without any financial support or child maintenance. Her suffering was compounded by the fact that her abuser’s parents actively participated in the harassment and abuse.

Instead of protecting their grandchild, Okapiec’s parents enabled his violence and later turned against the victim when she sought police protection. Their harassment escalated to the point where the victim had to block their phone numbers. Despite this, they continued to intrude into her life—ringing her doorbell for ten minutes straight, peering into her windows, and waiting near her home to ambush her while she was out with her son. On one occasion, they physically tried to coerce their grandson into their car by grabbing his arms, an incident that was caught on camera.

Police intervened, issuing formal warnings to Okapiec’s parents, warning them that continued harassment would lead to criminal charges. The victim endured ten years of abuse at the hands of Wojciech Okapiec, yet the justice system failed to hold him accountable. By pleading guilty at his pre-trial hearing, he avoided a full trial, meaning her evidence and witness testimonies were never fully heard in court.

Despite this, the facts remain undeniable: Wojciech Okapiec is a dangerous individual who should be behind bars. His lack of remorse, continued manipulation, and evasion of responsibility highlight the urgent need for justice. The victim and her child deserved better—security, acknowledgment, and the opportunity to speak their truth in court. This case serves as a stark warning to the public about the violent, manipulative, and abusive nature of Wojciech Okapiec, and the importance of holding such individuals accountable for their actions in West Lothian.
