Oldham man jailed for rape and assault
Shaun Grenfell, 37, of Sharples Hall Street, Oldham, was sentenced to nine years and six months in prison at Minshull Street Crown Court for raping a woman in her early 20s in 2024. The victim woke to find Grenfell raping her and later described feeling 'fundamentally changed' by the attack. Grenfell also assaulted a man in April 2024, causing two black eyes and requiring hospital treatment. Judge Matthew Corbett-Jones said the relationship breakdown was 'no excuse' for Grenfell's behaviour and imposed a 15-year restraining order preventing contact with the rape victim and two family members.
