Man Jailed Over Two Years for Shocking Sexual Assault at Private Party
Paul Gregory Caught in the Act
Paul Gregory, 25, of Wisteria Gardens, Swanley, has been sentenced to two years and three months in prison for sexually assaulting a woman during a private social gathering in early 2020. He admitted he had no reason to believe the victim consented to his unwanted advances.
Swift Justice After Immediate Confrontation
Multiple witnesses challenged Gregory at the scene, leading to his conviction on one count of sexual assault. Maidstone Crown Court handed down the jail term on Friday, 1 October 2021.
Kent Police Demand Zero Tolerance
Detective Constable Jonathan Summers said: “Gregory committed an appalling and exceptionally degrading offence on the victim.”
“His behaviour falls far short of what any reasonable person could consider acceptable and demonstrates an astounding lack of decency and respect.”
“This offence has had a profound impact on the victim and I sincerely hope that she can gain a sense of assurance from this result.”
“No woman should tolerate being abused this way. We urge anyone affected by a similar crime to come forward so we can support them and pursue justice.”
