A "thoroughly dangerous" serial rapist from Kent has been locked up for 18 years.

Warehouseman Michal Tejkowski, of Enterprise Road, Maidstone was found guilty of raping two young women in Brighton and also the sex assault of a 67-year-old woman in Mote Park.

In sentencing Tejkowski at Lewes Crown Court, Judge Coltart described him as a "thoroughly dangerous man who had shown not a shred of remorse or human compassion towards his victims and that if he ever wanted to know why he received this sentence he should read his victim's impact satements."

The detective leading the investigation described the 27-year-old's crimes as appalling and said he poses a considerable threat to women.

Tejkowski was convicted of four counts of rape, two against a 17-year-old girl and two against a 25-year-old woman, both from Brighton, and one count of sexual assault against a 67-year-old Kent woman.

Tejkowski was arrested on June 2 on suspicion of the rape of a 17-year-old girl in Dyke Road, Brighton in February, which he denied.

But he was charged with both this rape and the rape of a 25-year-old woman in a car park in Brighton on March 10.

While in custody Tejkowski was also charged with the sexual assault of a 67-year-old woman in Mote Park, Maidstone on May 6.

He arrived in the South East in October last year and lived in Brighton when he committed the offences there, before moving to Kent with his family in March 2011.

Detective Chief Inspector Trevor Bowles, who led the investigation, said: "I am very pleased that justice has been served against this dangerous man.

"The threat he poses to women is considerable. He has shown no remorse or concern for his victims throughout his trial.

"Tejkowski's crimes against these three women were appalling. All three victims showed immense courage and strength throughout the police investigation and during the trial. My team and I have been humbled by their courage and strength in giving evidence against their attacker, a predatory rapist.

"This has been a long and complicated investigation which involved extensive forensic analysis and important cross border work with our colleagues in Kent."
