The East of England Ambulance Service Trust (EEAST) has issued a statement after Jamie Kadolski was jailed for 12 years.

An 11-day trial held at Norwich Crown Court earlier this year heard how Kadolski wore his NHS uniform on his Tinder profile and told the women he was a paramedic.

The statement said: "We are appalled at the crimes that Jamie Kadolski has been sentenced for today.

“Kadolski was immediately suspended when we were alerted of his arrest.

“Our thoughts are with the victims and all those affected by these horrific crimes.

"We recognise the courage it takes to come forward and speak out.”

The spokesman said Kadolski, who joined them in March 2023 and became a call handler in October 2023, was stood down from work when managers were alerted to his arrest in December 2023.

The spokesman insisted EEAST took its responsibility to "create a safe and respectful working environment for everyone seriously".

Following his trial, Kadolski, of Ladysmith Road, Norwich, was convicted of two counts of assault by penetration, three counts of rape and a sexual assault against the first victim.

He was also found not guilty of attempting to suffocate or strangle her, and of another count of rape.

He was also convicted of charges of sexual assault and assault by penetration against two further victims.

However, he was cleared of raping a fourth woman.

Judge Anthony Bate (Image: Newsquest) He said the victims "expected to be safe" with Kadolski who he deemed to be a "dangerous" offender driven by a sexual premeditation to achieve dominance over women.

Judge Bate insisted Kadolski had "no insight into the severity of his offending".

He said the three victims - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - had given "powerful" statements to the court telling of the "enduring impact of his offending".

The statements are as follows.

FIRST VICTIM

"Since being raped by Jamie my life has changed in so many different aspects.

"I feel like I've had to change my entire personality and the way I act just to try and get through the day.

"I can't even talk about being raped in a serious manner because every time I try it feels like a tiny part of me gets lost during the discussion.

"I couldn't tell my family for years and in fact I never did tell them, they all found out on their own and the word just spread about what happened to me.

"We don't talk about it often and I hate when they ask me questions about it.

"I have never felt so humiliated, ashamed and like a disappointment than in that moment where they all found out the truth, and I still have those feelings to this day.

"I can't even escape the reality of it when I sleep.

"Whenever I close my eyes all I do is have these vivid flashbacks of being forced down and roughly assaulted, by a man who claimed to have loved me and stated in court 'it was a loving relationship' - if that's what love is, I have to believe it's not, then I want absolutely no part in it.

"I find it disgusting that he can claim these things after all he's done to me.

"Almost........
