A violent abuser who battered a woman in a terrifying spree has finally been locked up. Lewis Taylor, 36, left his victim hospitalised after a series of savage assaults.
Months of Brutal Abuse Start with Strangulation
The horror kicked off in June 2025 when Taylor, suspicious she was cheating, strangled the woman and threw her to the floor. His violence spiralled from there.
- He stormed into her workplace, grabbed her by the shirt collar, and spat in her face.
- His beating left her with two black eyes, forcing her to walk around looking bruised and battered.
Final Attack: Sickening Torture at Her Home
The nightmare peaked on 27 July in Leysdown. Taylor smashed her head repeatedly against the toilet, floors, walls, and anything else he could use as a weapon.
He pummeled her with fists, then dragged her into the courtyard where he urinated on her and smashed her phone. Lucky to escape, she fled to call for help while neighbours dialled 999.
Fleeing Fiend Caught and Locked Away
Taylor fled the scene but was caught that same night in Sidcup. He faced charges including intentional strangulation, assault by beating, actual bodily harm, and criminal damage.
Despite denying the allegations, a Maidstone Crown Court jury found him guilty. On 30 January 2026, Taylor was jailed for six years and hit with a 15-year restraining order to keep him away from his victim.
