A 55-year-old Ukrainian man, Oleksandr M., who is a resident of the Czluchów district in the Pomerania region, is facing serious charges of sexual crimes against minors in Poland. According to local newspaper Czas Chojnic, the man was linked to two sexual offenses involving teenage girls, aged 14 and 15, which occurred between 2022 and 2023.
The Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Chojnice filed an indictment against him in November 2023, accusing him of a sexual offense in the Brusy commune. It was established that in May 2023, he threatened a 14-year-old girl from the Chojnice district and forced her to engage in a sexual act. Oleksandr M. was an economic immigrant working in a nearby town.
During questioning, the man did not admit to the charges against him. However, the prosecutor’s office rejected his explanations, deeming them an attempt to evade criminal responsibility.
It was later revealed that a year earlier, in August 2022, Oleksandr M. had committed a similar offense in Złotów, Greater Poland, threatening a 15-year-old girl with a dangerous object.
The perpetrator’s identity was established through modern investigative techniques and evidence secured at the scene, including genetic material, which unequivocally pointed to Oleksandr M. He was already in custody in the Pomeranian voivodeship in connection with another sexual offense when he was charged with this additional crime in early June.
Under the criminal code, the man could face up to eight years in prison. Since Oct. 1, the minimum sentence for raping a minor is five years in prison, with the possibility of a life sentence. The accused remains in custody in Słupsk.
The Kresy.pl news outlet, which reported this story, noted that the original article did not specify the nationality of Oleksandr M., although his name clearly indicates that he is from Ukraine.
