WAKEFIELD PAEDOPHILE KAZIMIERZ KOWEJSZA SENTENCED FOR ABUSE CASE
| Red Rose Database
Wakefield Rapist
In June 2014, a disturbing incident involving a paedophile from Wakefield was exposed when witnesses saw him attacking a young girl through a bedroom window, with his girlfriend present and watching.
Kazimierz Kowejsza, aged 54, was subsequently sentenced to 13 and a half years in prison for his crimes. His partner, Eva Tyrminska, aged 53, who was found hiding beneath a bed during the police raid after assisting Kowejsza's abuse, received an eight-year prison sentence.
The incident occurred on a Sunday evening in September of the previous year, when witnesses called 999 after witnessing the assault in front of them.
When officers entered the property in West Yorkshire, they discovered Kowejsza naked with the young girl. Tyrminska was uncovered hiding under the bed, fully clothed, and was found to have aided and abetted the abuse.
Additionally, two other individuals, a man and a woman who cannot be named for legal reasons, were found intoxicated at the scene and were both jailed for child neglect.
Kowejsza pleaded guilty to charges of rape and attempted rape of the young girl, while Tyrminska was convicted of two charges of aiding or abetting the rape.
During sentencing, Judge Mark Bury stated: “Kowejsza, you abused this girl in the vilest way. You were both under the influence of alcohol, but not so much that you did not know what you were doing. You, Tyrminska, could have stopped this entire incident. By your presence, you encouraged Kowejsza to behave in this most appalling manner. You raped her in front of six witnesses who looked on in shock and disbelief. This experience will live on with them forever.”
Hull Crown Court also heard that social services had twice been alerted to the neglect of the young girl, who is now flourishing in a permanent foster home.
Initially, Kowejsza claimed innocence, telling police he was preparing for bed at 6 pm with Tyrminska, and both showed no remorse.
Robin Frieze, defending Kowejsza, emphasized that his client had no prior convictions in the UK or Poland. Matthew Harding, representing Tyrminska, stated there was no evidence she had physically held the girl down.
The other two individuals found intoxicated during the police raid were also sentenced; a man in his 40s received a nine-month prison term for child neglect, and a woman in her 30s was jailed for two-and-a-half years on similar charges.
Judge Bury indicated that Kowejsza and Tyrminska could be considered for deportation to Poland before serving their UK sentences. He also ordered them to sign the UK Sex Offenders Register for life.
Following the trial, Detective Chief Inspector Adrian Taylor commented: “This was a truly horrific crime that rightly shocked the local community, especially those witnesses who saw it unfold. Sexual exploitation and abuse, particularly involving children, remains an abhorrent offense. I urge anyone with information regarding such offences in Wakefield or elsewhere in West Yorkshire to contact police on 101.”
Wakefield Council confirmed they would not be conducting a serious case review. John Wilson, the council’s corporate director for children and young people, explained: “The family became known to us 18 months ago when concerns were raised by professionals, who then provided appropriate support. After a public alert, we took swift action—removing the child from the home and placing her in a safe foster environment.”
