Ms Jankowska, who has no fixed address but has been living in Wexford with a friend and her one-year-old son, had come to Ireland for a better life but after striking up a relationship with the man, who also encouraged her to take up sex work, she ended up taking on a "managerial role" in the enterprise. He later came to Garda attention for drug offences, the court heard. Last October Ms Jankowska, who did not address in court, pleaded guilty to a charge under the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act for being a tenant in charge of a “premises that was used as a brothel or for the purposes of habitual prostitution”.Īnother man present in the apartment, whose name was on the lease alongside Ms Jankowska's, was initially the focus of the Garda investigation but their enquiries eventually concentrated on the accused. A can of pepper spray was also found, for which Ms Jankowska pleaded guilty to possession of, under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act. Gardaí found 15 mobile phones, alongside a notepad, €285 in cash in a jar and some cannabis. Detective Garda Patrick Darcy said he and gardaí entered the flat, finding one of the three women was in a bedroom at the apartment with a client at the time. Three women were discovered working inside alongside Ms Jankowska, having been brought to Ireland from Poland by the accused and a man, who collected the women at an airport. On November 10th 2014, gardaí approached her then residence of 15 Rivercourt Apartments, Suir Street, Waterford city, where the accused answered the door in a robe and underwear. The operation had been discovered after a Garda posed as a customer and contacted her on an escort website in 2014. She must also not come back to Ireland for the duration of the suspended sentence - that being five years. Magdalena Jankowska (32) avoided jail for the offence on Tuesday afternoon, but has been ordered to return to her native Poland in 14 days or risk activating the one-year prison term. A woman guilty of brothel-keeping in Waterford was part of a "sophisticated criminal organisation" working across Ireland and Poland, according to a Circuit Court judge. ![]()
