Full Description

A 32-year-old man from Leiston, Suffolk, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison following his guilty plea to multiple counts of child rape and threats to kill. Mantas Gineitis appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on 21 October 2025, where Judge [name not specified] imposed the custodial sentence after Gineitis initially denied the charges but later admitted guilt to five counts of rape of a girl.

The offences, which involved a single young victim, occurred over an 18-month period. According to court proceedings reported by Suffolk Constabulary, Gineitis's actions caused profound and lasting harm to the victim. In a poignant Victim Personal Statement read aloud during the hearing, the girl expressed: 'The harm that has been inflicted on me cannot be undone but I hope that by sharing my experience full justice will be served. I deserve to move forward with a sense of closure and reassurance that steps will be taken to prevent this from happening to someone else.' This statement underscored the devastating impact of the abuse, highlighting the victim's courage in coming forward.

The investigation was led by Suffolk Constabulary, with Temporary Detective Sergeant Jessie Langham-Fitt serving as the supervising officer. She described the case as 'appalling and deeply distressing', praising the victim's bravery in supporting the probe. Langham-Fitt also commended the investigative team, including Officer in Charge DC Mark Ryczanowski, for their diligent work in gathering evidence and securing charges in this emotive matter. The police force's commitment to pursuing sexual offenders was evident, ensuring Gineitis faced justice for his despicable crimes.

In addition to the 20-year imprisonment, Gineitis has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely, a measure aimed at protecting the public from further risk. The case serves as a stark reminder of the authorities' resolve to safeguard vulnerable individuals, particularly children, from sexual exploitation and abuse. Details of the sentencing were publicly released by Suffolk Constabulary on 23 October 2025, emphasising the importance of reporting such crimes to achieve accountability.
