An individual, Jakub Sojka Motherwell Paedophile, who engaged in the sexual assault and rape of an adolescent female after encountering her on the street has been incarcerated.
Jakub Sojka was convicted on 31 July after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
The perpetrator, aged 32, encountered his underage victim, aged 15, in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, on 1 March 2021. Subsequently, he transported her to his residence.
Upon entering, he insisted that she had ingested a powdered drug, made menacing remarks about her family, and forcefully struck her head against a door.
Following her involuntary detention, he proceeded to sexually abuse her while she was under the influence before committing the act of rape.
Jakub Sojka was sentenced to seven years in jail on 27 August at the High Court in Edinburgh. His name has been permanently included in the sex offenders register.
A 10-year restraining order prohibiting Jakub Sojka from contacting or attempting to contact this victim was also issued.

As a result of the victim’s courage in reporting him, he will now experience the repercussions of his predatory behaviour.
