Evil gang kidnapped, tortured and raped man in brutal 10-hour ordeal

A violent thug who kidnapped, tortured and forced another man to commit depraved sex acts in a horrific 10-hour ordeal has been jailed.

Kamil Lesiak was sentenced to 18 years after being found guilty of a string of offences that saw his terrified victim subjected to horrific humiliation and self-degradation.

The victim, a 27-year-old man, was kidnapped in Bootle, Merseyside, and kept against his will for around 10 hours in November 2015.

Lesiak and accomplice Daniel Misiolek subjected him to a series of physical and sexual assaults in that time, Liverpool Echo reports.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was initially attacked at a home in Bootle days after one of the other kidnappers Dagmara Szary “appeared to have taken offence” to mobile phone photos she claimed to have seen.

Lesiak, of no fixed abode, was convicted of false imprisonment, assault causing actual bodily harm, rape and causing a man to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent and sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday.

He was the last of the kidnapping monsters to be jailed after three others were locked up in September 2016.

Misiolek from Netherton was jailed for life after admitting kidnap, rape, false imprisonment, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, robbery, and six counts of causing a male to engage in sexual activity without consent.

Awna Baszak Netherton was handed down 12 years after being convicted of kidnap and two counts of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent following a trial.

Szary from Huyton was jailed for 15 months in a young offenders institution after being convicted of kidnap following a trial.

Following the sentencing, Detective Sergeant Jamie Dean said: “It is pleasing to see this highly disturbing case brought to a full conclusion, and Lesiak facing the consequences of his appalling violence and abuse in 2015.

"Lesiak and Daniel Misiolek subjected their victim to this horrific ordeal, some of which was filmed by Awna Baszak on a mobile phone.

“The courage the victim has shown during the first trial and in the years since have ensured that four people have now been brought to justice, and hopefully provided some comfort when coming to terms with what happened.

“Rape is a very personal crime, which many victims, understandably, struggle to come to terms with and it can have a devastating effect for the rest of their lives.

"There is no doubt that this continues to have a profound impact on this victim. Hopefully his immense bravery will encourage other victims of sexual offences to come forward and have the confidence in us to do the right thing and support them throughout their ordeal.

“I want to make it clear that if you report a sexual offence, we will investigate it thoroughly and provide you with the utmost support throughout. We are here to treat you with compassion and respect, and will work tirelessly to put perpetrators before the courts.

"Specialist police officers from our Unity team work side-by-side with a number of partners including Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs), who work with the victim from the moment the police make the referral through to the court case and beyond.”

Anyone with information or wants to report sexual offence allegation is asked to call 101 where you will be spoken to by specially trained officers or you can pass information to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
