Fake paramedic guilty of Tinder date rapes

A man who pretended to be a paramedic has been found guilty of raping multiple women he met on an online dating website.

Jamie Kadolski, 24, of Ladysmith Road, Norwich, was found guilty of committing nine sexual offences over an 18-month period.

During the trial at Norwich Crown Court he denied the charges made by four different women, which he met on Tinder.

The court had previously heard how the former ambulance call handler had told the women he was a paramedic and had used stickers to hide his real role on his work ID card.

The 24-year-old worked as a call handler for the East of England Ambulance Service.

The prosecution told the jury that he used stickers to hide his more junior role, so he could claim to the women he met that he was a paramedic.

Kadolski has been accused of 15 sexual offences, but on two charges the jury has been told that he has no case to answer.

He was found guilty of three counts of rape and six sexual assaults. He was cleared of two counts of rape and two other assaults.

The jury had previously heard that when questioned by officers he said he would not be able to pin someone down as he had been “sexually abused as a child”.

The jury heard Kadolski had three interviews with the police and when asked by officers if there were arguments with one of the complainants he said no.

He said that he remembered her crying once and told officers, “I’m not the best with empathy or sympathy”.
