A 41-year-old man has been found guilty of inciting a sexual act with a child and making indecent images of children.

The Royal Court found Krzystof Kamil Lis guilty today, 10 July.

Lis approached a 14-year-old girl on the Railway Walk in St Brelade and handed her a note inciting sexual activity with her, in September 2022. 

He told the child not to tell anyone about it.

The girl reported what happened to a teacher at her school, who then called the police. 

Officers arrested Lis and seized his phone, which was found to contain two Category B and 40 Category C indecent images of children on it. 

Police Sergeant James Clark has praised the victim for speaking out: 

“The girl in this case must be commended for coming forward and reporting this to her teacher and stopping Lis doing this to another young girl.

"The States of Jersey Police are committed to catching those who offend in this way and ensuring they are put before the courts."

Jersey Police say anyone who has concerns about suspected Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation can contact The Safeguarding Partnership Board, who help agencies work together to safeguard children and adults at risk.
