UPDATE – 08.10.25
Marcin Laskowski, the Southport Paedophile, has received a 14-year prison sentence for child sexual offences perpetrated in Southport.
Marcin Laskowski, aged 39, was sentenced to 14 years of imprisonment at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, 7 October, with an additional six years of extended licence upon his release. He was also subjected to an indefinite restraining order against the victim, an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and is mandated to register on the Sex Offender Register for life.
The punishment today pertains to child sexual offences perpetrated by Laskowski, who has no fixed address but resided in Southport, in January, during which he participated in sexual conduct with a 14-year-old girl.
Marcin Laskowski was convicted of two charges of rape, assault by penetration, and engaging in sexual conduct with a minor aged 13 to 15 after a trial in July.
Detective Inspector Tony Meakins of the Child & Criminal Sexual Exploitation Team said: “Marcin Laskowski preyed on a vulnerable child he had met by chance in Southport town centre and offered her a place to stay, where she thought she would be safe and trusted him. However, once inside the flat, he sexually assaulted and raped her despite her pleas to stop. She was left scared and frightened of what would happen to her.
“The victim and her family have shown immense courage and bravery throughout the investigation to reach this conviction.
“Today’s custodial sentence has removed him from the streets to prevent further harm to anyone else. I hope Laskowski spends this time in prison reflecting on his abhorrent behaviour and accepts that it is wrong.”
Detective Inspector Meakins added: “I hope this sentencing encourages other victims to come forward and report sex offences to us, and they have confidence in us, as a police force, to take reports seriously, where we will ensure offenders are put before the courts so that they can pay for their crimes.
“Anyone who has been a victim of a sexual offence, is concerned for the safety of someone they know or suspects someone to be engaging in this criminal activity, should come forward and speak to us.
“We have a team of dedicated staff who will expertly and compassionately deal with your reports, and we will do everything we can to bring offenders to justice.
“We urge anyone who is a victim of any form of sexual abuse to please report this to the police, as we have specially trained officers who will treat you with sensitivity and compassion.
“We take all such reports extremely seriously, and in addition, work with partner organisations such as Victim Care Support Service and RASA, who are there to support victims of this crime.”
