Bolton Rapist Jailed for 14 Years Over 18-Hour Attack and False Imprisonment

The court ordered lifetime sex offender registration with indefinite restrictions to safeguard the victim’s daughters.

Overview

  • Kieran Naylor, 40, was convicted of two rapes, false imprisonment, grievous bodily harm and theft after an October jury trial, and the court heard he had more than 50 prior convictions totaling about 100 offences.
  • Recorder Sophie Cartwright sentenced him to 14 years in prison with a two-year extended licence for public protection.
  • Naylor met the woman at a petrol station, lured her to his Bolton flat, detained her for about 18 hours and repeatedly assaulted and raped her.
  • The victim suffered a broken femur and wrist as Naylor stole her bank card to buy cigarettes and alcohol and attempted an unsuccessful JD Sports tracksuit purchase.
  • The woman died of natural causes in May after providing evidence; police praised her courage and urged other victims of sexual violence to come forward.
