Issa Brayzi-Pour, a resident of Longcauseway in Farnworth, Bolton, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison with an extended license of five years after being found guilty of the rape of a 70-year-old woman, inciting a child into sexual activity, and sexual assault of a child. The sentence was handed down at Minshull Street Crown Court on Monday, 18 July 2023.
The court heard that on 9 August 2022, Brayzi-Pour approached a 13-year-old girl near a pub in Farnworth and led her to a nearby field. The young victim described how he had asked her to perform oral sex, but when she refused, he attempted to drag her into nearby bushes. In a brave act of self-defence, she threw herself to the ground and screamed, causing Brayzi-Pour to release her and flee. The girl immediately sought help at a nearby shop, and the incident was reported to the police.
