Call handler pretended to be paramedic before raping woman
A call handler pretended to be a paramedic before raping a woman and sexually assaulting two more he met on a dating app, a court heard. Jamie Kadolski, 24, of Norwich, previously worked as a call handler for the East of England Ambulance Service but had falsely claimed to the women that he was a paramedic. He used stickers on his work ID card to hide his more junior role, a trial at Norwich Crown Court was told. Kadolski was found guilty of three counts of rape and six further sexual offences. Judge Anthony Bate, sentencing at the same court on Thursday, said the offending happened between August 2022 and September 2023. He said that Kadolski met all three women 'through the Tinder online dating app'. He said the defendant 'projected a misleading impression of your healthcare professional status through your misuse of uniforms, health service identity cards and related papers'. 'Each of them expected to be safe in your company and able to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling future relationship based on mutual respect,' he said. Describing Kadolski as a 'dangerous offender', the judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison with an extended licence period of three years. The judge also imposed an indefinite sexual harm prevention order, and ordered that Kadolski's seized devices, uniforms and identity cards remain confiscated. The woman who was raped by Kadolski said she felt 'humiliated and ashamed'. She said that 'almost every night' she had 'nightmares that he's come into my house', before wiping tears from her eyes as she stood in the witness box. The woman said that seeing an 'ambulance or paramedics in the street fills me with dread', although she had since learned that Kadolski was not a paramedic. A second woman said she was a 'shadow of who I once was' and that she had tried to take her own life. His third victim told the court that the 'thought of what happened still haunts me today'. Michael Cohen, for the defendant, said that 'others are representing Mr Kadolski in an application for permission to appeal' against the convictions. He said Kadolski had no previous convictions or cautions that were relevant to the case. The defendant showed no emotion as he was led to the cells.

'Predatory and remorseless' Norfolk NHS worker jailed for 12 years for raping and assaulting women
A 'predatory and remorseless' NHS worker who posed as a paramedic on an online dating website has been jailed for 12 years for raping and sexually assaulting women. Jamie Kadolski's three victims fought back tears as they told Norwich Crown Court how his attacks had left them suicidal, humiliated, ashamed, and terrified of ambulance workers. One of his victims said: 'I didn't think I would be alive to speak today. I attempted suicide twice. By ending my life I would be free of so much pain.' Another told the court she overdosed three days after being sexually assaulted by Kadolski and had tattoos to cover up scars from her self-harm. Kadolski, 24, of Ladysmith Road, Norwich, was found guilty of nine sexual offences over an 18-month-period, including rape, sexual assault and assault by penetration during a trial last November. The trial heard that Kadolski, a former call handler at the East of England Ambulance Service, had used stickers on his work ID badge to conceal his more junior role. He met victims through the dating website Tinder, telling them he was a paramedic before going on to rape and sexually assault them. One told the court she now refused to use any dating apps. 'The joy of being in a relationship has been ripped away from me,' she said. The court heard that Kadolski would wear police and paramedic uniforms as part of an 'internal fantasy world that he wished he was living in'. A psychological report said this was an attempt to try and relieve 'low mood and low self-worth' as well as to 'attract a partner' and 'boost his fragile ego'. After the sentencing, an East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said they were "appalled at the crimes". 'Kadolski was immediately suspended when we were alerted of his arrest," they said. 'Our thoughts are with the victims and all those affected by these horrific crimes. We recognise the courage it takes to come forward and speak out.' Kadolski will serve 12 years in jail and three years on extended licence. He was also made the subject of an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
