Child rapist caught with indecent images of children.

A PUB CHEF who was caught with indecent images of children has been jailed.

Louis Joe Kalizewski, 23, has a previous conviction for raping a minor. The court heard that he admitted he has a sexual interest in children.

When police raided his home on July 12 last year, they found him in bed. Kalizewski, of Sullivan Road Southampton, presented his electronic device on request. Upon examination, officers found indecent images which included one category A, three category B, and four category C images.

Prosecution barrister, Edward Warren, told the court that during a police interview that day Kalizewski claimed he had no idea how the images came to be on his computer.

Appearing before Southampton Crown Court on Monday, he faced three counts of possessing indecent photographs of children with the offenses taking place between April 15, 2018, and July 12 last year. He had previously pleaded guilty.

Mr Warren told the court that Kalizewski was convicted at a youth court in 2015 for raping a boy under the age of 13.

Defending, Tom Horder, said his client was still relatively young and was caught with a small number of images which he did not attempt to hide. Mr Horder added that Kalizewski hopes that he can get some help.

Judge Peter Henry slammed the images as particularly unpleasant. He jailed him for eight months and gave him a ten-year sexual harm prevention order. Kalizewski is subject to a ten-year notification requirement.
