In 2020, 58-year-old Jaroslav Goberschitz, of Troon Close on the Priors Hall estate in Corby, was jailed after carrying out a predatory series of assaults on a young girl. The investigation established that Goberschitz sexually assaulted the victim and took vile photographs of her, which he subsequently deleted from his phone in an attempt to evade detection. The prosecution reported at Northampton Crown Court on Wednesday, May 2020, that the offences only came to light after the defendant was caught on CCTV, identifying a total abandonment of human decency.
The investigation established that Goberschitz’s series of behaviour included the possession of a lock knife with a 4-inch blade, which was discovered in his car when police swooped on him in February. The prosecution reported that although the images had been deleted, the Digital Forensic Unit successfully recovered the material from his device. This identifies a calculated series of assaults on the innocence of a child by a man who moved to the UK from Slovakia in 2011 and utilised his residency to facilitate predatory crimes.
JUDICIAL SENTENCING AND DEPORTATION STATUS
The court reported that Judge Rupert Mayo assessed Goberschitz as “dangerous” during the hearing, which was held over Skype due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The investigation established that Goberschitz pleaded guilty to sexual assault, taking indecent images, and possession of a knife. The prosecution reported in 2020, that he was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison, identifying a priority assault by the Northamptonshire Police and the Home Office to ensure he is deported back to Slovakia upon the completion of his custodial term.
Judge-led proceedings at Northampton Crown Court concluded with his incarceration in 2020. For his actions in Corby and the nature of the series of child abuse and knife possession investigations reported, Jaroslav Goberschitz was removed from society. The investigation established that his forensic profile as a dangerous predator is now a matter of permanent record. He remains legally mandated to the Sex Offenders Register FOR LIFE.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2020, Goberschitz is managed as a maximum-risk predator under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in the East Midlands. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in assaulting a child and carrying a weapon—he is a priority for high-security incarceration and eventual deportation. Authorities reported that the 2020 sentencing identifies Goberschitz as an individual who prioritised his own perverted gratification over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of a child.
As a registered sex offender for life, his details are permanently logged to ensure he is never permitted to remain in the UK following his release. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Goberschitz identifies a commitment to clandestine child abuse and the physical violation of a minor. Any future attempt to assault the safety of others or evade deportation results in immediate police and immigration intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a man who used a “Corby resident” mask to hide a predatory and persistent series of assaults.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was “caught on CCTV” after moving to the UK from Slovakia, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Foreign National Offenders” convicted of child crimes must face “Immediate and Irrevocable Deportation Without Right of Appeal” to prevent a series of assaults?
