An individual named John Dolan, aged 46 and residing on Old Whint Road in Haydock, was convicted of the heinous crime of sexually assaulting a woman three times using extreme violence.
The court court heard that Dolan targeted a victim described as vulnerable and emotionally fragile, subjecting her to degradation and humiliation.
During the first incident, Dolan punched her repeatedly before raping her.
On the second occasion, he screamed at her, knocked her unconscious, and then raped her again.
He continued his assault by raping her a third time.
The court revealed that Dolan's actions included punching her in the nose after she denied an accusation of sleeping with a friend, and taking her to a church where he made her swear on a Bible.
The judge criticized Dolan for being a self-regarding and obsessed bully who blamed the victim for his actions and continued to deny responsibility.
Dolan was found guilty after a trial and sentenced to 14 years in prison, with an additional six years on licence, meaning he will serve at least nine years and four months before being considered for parole.
He is also required to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life and is subject to a restraining order.
The judge emphasized that Dolan posed a significant danger, using violence and sexual violence to control his victims, with no insight or remorse for his actions.
