Unemployed Adrian Kolczak, 35, had been thrown out by his girlfriend in the early hours of the morning and was shivering in his car when she noticed him.
The woman gave him coffee, a blanket and warm clothes before inviting him into her home to sleep on the sofa.
But as the woman drifted off to sleep herself, Kolczak sexually assaulted her before fleeing the property
He pled guilty to the attack at a hearing at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on 15 April 2025.
At Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court today (29 September 2025) he was sentenced to 300 hours Community Payback Order and made the subject of a two-years supervision.
He was also placed on the sex offenders register for two years.
Procurator Fiscal for Tayside, Central and Fife, Helen Nisbet, said:
“Adrian Kolczak showed cynical contempt for a woman who offered him shelter and safety in her own home.
“Thanks to this victim reporting this distressing crime, this man has been brought to justice.
“Any sexual exploitation or assault of members of our communities will never be tolerated.
“I would urge anyone else who has been a victim to come forward, report to the police and seek support.”
