Raped and sexually assaulted a woman while filming his crimes with a phone.

Man Jailed for 18 Years for Rape and Sexual Assault While Filming Crimes

Hubert Greliak, 33, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for the rape and sexual assault of a woman in Ealing, West London, in January 2020. He was also found guilty of theft and failure to comply with police requests to reveal his phone's PIN code.

Greliak was arrested after his victim reported the sexual assault and theft. Police seized his phone but he refused to provide the PIN. Analysis of a hard drive revealed evidence of the rape, leading to his charge.

Despite being granted bail, Greliak breached his conditions. However, the Metropolitan Police tracked him down and placed him under electronic monitoring.

At Isleworth Crown Court in January, Greliak was found guilty of rape and assault by penetration. He will serve 13-and-a-half years of the sentence behind bars, with the remaining time on licence.

Detective Inspector Julian Crabb, from the Met's West Area Command Unit Safeguarding Team, said: "We are absolutely committed to tackling all forms of violence against women and girls and are dedicated to achieving criminal justice outcomes for victim-survivors as we have in this case."

"The victim bravely went through the ordeal of a trial and thanks to both her compelling evidence and the work of the investigation team, we were able to put this man behind bars for a long time. "

"Greliak is a dangerous and manipulative individual. He has showed no remorse or guilt for his disturbing and destructive actions. I sincerely hope the victim can begin to achieve closure and focus on the future. "

"Investigations into rape and sexual assault are often complex, and I am pleased the investigating officers' actions were commended by HH Judge Hammerton. I hope this gives survivors of sexual violence the confidence to come forward and report to police."
