Bolton man jailed for rape and ‘violent’ sexual assault of vulnerable woman
A man who subjected a vulnerable woman to a violent sexual attack and then refused her medical help has been handed a lengthy jail sentence.
Kieran Naylor, of Bold Street in Bolton, was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court yesterday (25 November) after being found guilty of two counts of rape, a section 18 assault, false imprisonment, and theft.
The offences took place around this time last year (9 and 10 December 2024), Greater Manchester Police (GMP) explained.
Naylor approached the victim at a nearby petrol station and invited her to his home, and once the pair were there, he became violent and sexually assaulted her. During the attack, the victim sustained serious injuries, including a broken wrist and femur, which required multiple surgeries.
Despite the injuries the victim sustained during the attack, Naylor refused to call for medical assistance and instead locked her inside his property.
The 39-year-old later left the address, taking the victim’s bank card along with him and attempting to make purchases in Bolton town centre.

The victim eventually managed to reach the doorway, where a member of the public found her and called emergency services.
Police arrived at the scene and arrested Naylor there and then.
Following the trial at Manchester Crown Court, Naylor has been jailed for 14 years – with the police describing him as a ‘dangerous individual’.
“This was a shocking and deeply disturbing crime,” explained Detective Constable Lucy Birch, from Bolton CID. “Naylor is a dangerous individual who is rightly behind bars for a long time.
“We know how difficult this has been for the victim and her family, and her bravery ensured justice was served.”
Sadly, the victim passed away before seeing Naylor face justice, but GMP says the evidence she provided ensured he received a ‘substantial’ sentence.
