Hospital worker accused of rape wore uniform on Tinder

Jamie Kadolski, of Ladysmith Road, Norwich, is on trial accused of 15 sexual offences on four women said to have been committed over an 18 month period.

The 23-year-old, who on his LinkedIn profile states he is a hospital assistant and ambulance service emergency call handler, denies the charges and says all sexual activity was consensual.

A woman who saw his profile on the dating app in 2022 told Norwich Crown Court she had arranged to meet him after seeing his picture. 

“I saw he was wearing a uniform and that he worked in healthcare and because he cared for people I thought he could be trusted,” she said.

After meeting in Norwich they had taken a bus to his flat in a shared house with the intention of watching a film, she said.

She admitted she had laid on his bed beside him and they had kissed but said he had then “forcibly” undressed her and began touching between her legs.

She said: “I remember he was very aggressive and I felt scared and vulnerable.”

In a video interview, another woman who met Kadolski on Tinder said he had attempted to kiss her despite her telling him she “did not see him that way.” 

He had pulled her hair to keep her in position while undoing her shorts and sexually assaulting her on a sofa, she said.

“He was quite vicious about the way he did it. He did everything roughly, nothing was gentle,” she added. 

The trial previously heard from a third woman who told the jury she was used as an "object" for his sexual pleasure after they dated for about three months in 2022.

She said on one occasion he had locked her in a shared bathroom at his home.

She accuses him two counts of assault by penetration, false imprisonment and attempted strangulation with intent to commit rape or sexual assault.

The trial continues.
