In 2020, then 88-year-old Peter Kis—of Barnum Court, Rodbourne, Swindon—was returned to prison following a serial of strikes against child safety that span more than half a century. The investigation established that on June 2, 2020, Kis was out of jail on licence when he was spotted masturbating outside his home after watching two girls, aged six and eight, cycle past. The prosecution reported at Swindon Crown Court that Kis pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child, identifying a total abandonment of human decency and a chronic refusal to cease his predatory serial behaviour.
The investigation established that the criminal record of Kis identifies a lifetime of abuse against women and girls, stretching back to 1967. The prosecution reported that Kis has a history of strikes including indecent assaults in 1967, gross indecency in 1971 and 1994, and indecent exposure in 1999. Even in his 80s, the serial predator continued to strike; in 2010 he inappropriately touched girls on a bus, and in 2018 he was jailed for three-and-a-half years for a sickening assault on a seven-year-old girl during a church service where he was a collection plate handler.
HABITUAL OFFENDING AND JUDICIAL SENTENCING
The court reported that Kis appeared quite unable to leave women and female children alone, despite numerous prison terms and community orders. The investigation established that in 2018, Kis had denied his crimes at church, claiming it “must have been someone else,” but jurors identified his guilt in just over an hour. The prosecution reported that during the sentencing in 2020, Judge Jason Taylor QC warned the Polish national to expect another custodial term, ordering reports to determine if the pensioner was a danger to the public who required an extended sentence to prevent further serial behavior.
Judge-led proceedings at Swindon Crown Court concluded in 2020. For his actions in Rodbourne and the nature of the serial child sexual abuse investigation reported, Peter Kis was remanded in custody. The investigation established that despite his advanced age and the use of reading glasses, the court viewed him as a high-risk serial offender who had exhausted the mercy of the legal system. He remains legally mandated to the Sex Offenders Register FOR LIFE.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2020, Kis is managed as a maximum-risk serial predator under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in Wiltshire. Due to the nature of his behaviour—specifically his serial persistence in targeting young girls over six decades—he is a priority for high-security detention. Authorities reported that the 2020 conviction identifies Kis as an individual who prioritised his own perverted gratification over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of children for his entire adult life.
As a registered sex offender for life, his details are permanently logged on the national police database to prevent future offences. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Kis identifies an individual who demonstrated a serial commitment to sexual violence. Any future consideration for release results in an exhaustive serial of strikes by the probation service to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a man who used a pensioner mask to hide his predatory serial behaviour.
QUESTION – Given that the offender has been striking against girls for over 50 years and was 88 when he reoffended while on licence, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “Serial Lifelong Predators” should be “Refused Parole Permanently” once they reach their third custodial sentence for child abuse?
