BELPER PERVERT ROLAND KAMSIKA ESCAPES JAIL AGAIN AFTER DRUGS AND CHILD ABUSE IMAGES REVELATION

In a case that has once again brought the town of Belper into the spotlight for disturbing reasons, Roland Kamsika, a man with a troubling criminal history, narrowly avoided imprisonment following a series of serious offenses involving drugs and child exploitation images. The sequence of events and legal proceedings reveal a disturbing pattern of behavior that has shocked the local community and raised questions about the effectiveness of the justice system in handling such cases.

Back in July 2017, Kamsika was subjected to a suspended prison sentence after police raided his residence on Ashbourne Road. During this operation, authorities discovered a significant quantity of illegal substances, including 1.5 kilograms of cannabis, ecstasy, and amphetamine. The raid was prompted by intelligence suggesting illicit drug activity at his home, which was confirmed through the police investigation.

Further forensic analysis of a homemade computer found in Kamsika’s loft uncovered a disturbing cache of nearly 4,500 indecent images depicting children aged 10 and above. The images were classified into categories, with the police revealing that the material included both Category B and Category C content. The investigation also uncovered that Kamsika had conducted internet searches using terms such as “Lolita” and “pre-teen,” indicating a disturbing interest in underage children for sexual purposes.

As part of his original sentence, Kamsika was ordered to give police seven days' notice before traveling abroad, a condition designed to monitor and prevent further illegal activity. However, in October of this year, prosecutor Noel Philo informed Derby Crown Court that Kamsika deliberately violated this order. The 52-year-old man sent a text message to his offender manager, Sarah, just four days before his planned departure to France, stating, “Hi Sarah, just letting you know I am going to France on October 26,” and mentioning his return from Barcelona on October 31. On the day of his flight, October 26, he sent another message confirming his travel plans, stating, “Hi Sarah, just confirming that I will be flying from Birmingham to Nantes and then returning from Barcelona on October 31.”

Prosecutor Philo emphasized that although Kamsika provided notification, it was done in a manner that was intentionally short and non-compliant with the legal requirement to inform authorities properly. This breach marked the second time Kamsika had flouted the order; previously, in July, he received a police caution for traveling abroad without giving the necessary notice.

During the hearing, Kamsika pleaded guilty to breaching the suspended sentence order and failing to adhere to the notification requirements. Judge Nirmal Shant QC responded by sentencing him to 24 weeks in prison, but the sentence was suspended for two years, allowing him to avoid immediate incarceration but with strict conditions attached.

In a separate but related case from November 2017, Kamsika faced additional charges concerning his possession of child abuse images and drugs. The court heard that he had downloaded approximately 4,500 indecent images and was found with three different types of drugs at his Belper residence. The police raid was initiated after information was received indicating his involvement in downloading illegal images. During the search, officers discovered a professional cannabis grow operation, which included four large plants and hanging cannabis, alongside the drugs ecstasy and amphetamine.

At the proceeds of crime hearing, Recorder Dean Kershaw ordered Kamsika to pay over £40,000—specifically £42,240—by selling his home and car to cover the amount gained from his criminal activities. The court explained that if he failed to meet this deadline within three months, he would face an additional six months in jail. The court detailed that the total benefit from his offending was estimated at £66,608.02, which included the value of his house on Ashbourne Road, his Toyota car, and a Barclays bank account.

Prosecutor Jonathan Dee recounted that police had traced an IP address linked to Kamsika, which was used to download the indecent images. The search of his property uncovered not only the images but also a significant cannabis cultivation setup. The analysis of his homemade computer revealed that he had searched for terms related to underage children, such as “Lolita” and “pre-teen,” further underscoring the disturbing nature of his online activity.

Kamsika admitted to multiple charges, including possession of indecent images, production of cannabis, possession with intent to supply cannabis, and possession of amphetamine. At the sentencing hearing, Judge Peter Cooke imposed a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, along with a 10-year sexual harm prevention order. Additionally, he was ordered to complete 120 hours of unpaid work and attend 20 days of rehabilitation assessments conducted by probation professionals.

These cases highlight a troubling pattern of criminal behavior by Kamsika, whose actions have caused significant concern within the community of Belper and beyond. The legal proceedings reflect ongoing efforts by law enforcement and the judiciary to address and penalize such serious offenses, although critics may argue about the adequacy of the sentences given the severity of the crimes committed.
