Adobe StockA man has been given unpaid work for sexually assaulting a woman who let him into her home after noticing that he was sleeping in his car.
Adrian Kolczak had been thrown out by his girlfriend in the early hours of the morning and was shivering in his car when the victim noticed him.
She gave the 35-year-old coffee, a blanket and warm clothes before inviting him into her home to sleep on her couch.
As she drifted off to sleep, Kolczak sexually assaulted her before fleeing the property.
He pled guilty to the attack at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court and was sentenced to 300 hours of unpaid work and given two years supervision.
Kolczak was also placed on the sex offenders register for two years.
Procurator fiscal for Tayside, Central and Fife, Helen Nisbet, said: “Adrian Kolczak showed cynical contempt for a woman who offered him shelter and safety in her own home.
“Thanks to this victim reporting this distressing crime, this man has been held to account for his actions.
“Any sexual exploitation or assault of members of our communities will never be tolerated.
“I would urge anyone else who has been a victim to come forward, report to the police and seek support.”
