In a shocking case of prison violence, Robert Reynolds, a prisoner at HMP Winchester, has been sentenced to 12 years in jail for a brutal attack on a fellow inmate. The harrowing incident, which occurred in July 2021, involved Reynolds pouring boiling water on the victim and subsequently assaulting and raping him.
The victim, a man in his 20s and described as “vulnerable,” suffered severe burns to his back and face due to the boiling water. Reynolds, 29, proceeded to physically assault the man with punches and kicks before committing the heinous acts of rape and sexual assault. The victim received initial treatment at the prison and was later transferred to a specialized burns unit for further care.
