| Red Rose Database
Worcester Domestic Abuser
A man from Worcester, identified as Blain Taylor, has been handed a three-year prison sentence following a series of violent assaults and threats against his victim. The sentencing took place at Worcester Crown Court on Thursday, 18 January, after Taylor, aged 23 and residing on James Close in Worcester, was found guilty of two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
During the court proceedings, it was detailed how Taylor subjected his victim to repeated physical violence. Witnesses and evidence revealed that he punched and kicked her multiple times, inflicting serious injuries. One particularly disturbing incident involved Taylor forcefully banging her head against the floor several times while pinning her down with his knee pressed against her chest and his hand wrapped around her neck, demonstrating a clear intent to cause harm.
Further allegations described Taylor’s brutal treatment of the victim, including forcibly holding her head under a shower and repeatedly stamping on her head. During these assaults, he reportedly made a chilling statement: “I’m going to carry on until you’re paralysed,” indicating a disturbing level of violence and intent to cause severe injury.
Following the conviction, Taylor will be subject to a restraining order upon his release from prison, aimed at protecting the victim from further harm. The case was overseen by Detective Constable Philippa Stevens of South Worcestershire Police’s Protecting Vulnerable People team, who expressed her commitment to tackling domestic violence. She stated, “We take all domestic assaults very seriously and I am pleased with the sentencing today. Taylor is clearly a dangerous and violent individual so I hope this result sends a clear message that this type of crime will not be tolerated, and we will do all we can to bring offenders to justice.”
Detective Stevens also praised the victim’s bravery in coming forward and cooperating with law enforcement, emphasizing the importance of speaking out against abuse. She added, “I urge anybody who is experiencing domestic abuse not to suffer in silence but to speak with the police. Victims will always have our full support from our specialised Protecting Vulnerable People team.”
