Following the incident, authorities acted swiftly. Wasilewski was apprehended on March 29th of the same year, just over two weeks after the offense. His arrest was part of an ongoing investigation, which culminated in his formal indictment on November 14th. The case drew significant attention from law enforcement, emphasizing their commitment to tackling non-contact sexual offences and ensuring community safety.
