MIDDLESBROUGH MAN SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR VIOLENT ASSAULT ON WOMAN
A 22-year-old man named Ryan Raynor has been found guilty of a severe assault on a woman in Middlesbrough.The assault took place in May, during which Raynor repeatedly punched, kicked, and strangled the victim.
He admitted to four charges: attempted wounding under section 18, making threats to kill, deliberate strangulation, and common assault.
The court handed down a sentence of four and a half years' imprisonment.
Raynor, who resides on Fawcett Way, was also ordered to remain indefinitely away from the victim, under a restraining order.
Investigating officer James Smith commented, 'Raynor's attack was vicious and violent, likely leaving a significant psychological impact on the victim.
We hope she can find some solace knowing her attacker is now serving time in prison to contemplate his actions.' This case underscores the serious approach taken by Cleveland Police toward domestic violence, encouraging anyone aware of such incidents to report via 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
