Description
A man has today been jailed for more than 20 years for the sadistic and vile rape of a vulnerable woman in her own home.
Brian Brough, 35 of no fixed abode, sexually assaulted the 60 year-old woman in Little Hulton in March last year after knocking on her door, and asking to use her toilet, claiming to be a neighbours relative.
Once in the house, Brough then asked his victim if she wanted to pay for sex with him and, when she said no, punched her in the face, dragged her into the bedroom and raped her.
Detective Constable Leanne Jackson of GMP's Salford district, said: "This was a horrific and sustained physical and sexual assault on a vulnerable woman and no one should ever be made to feel unsafe or at risk in their own home.
Police investigated and Brough was arrested two days later and was subsequently charged with multiple counts of rape.
He did not accept responsibility but was brought to court and eventually found guilty of rape.
On Wednesday he was sentenced to 22 years in prison at Minshull Street Crown Court.
DC Jackson said: "Throughout interview and the trial Brough would not accept any responsibility for his sadistic and vile actions, forcing his victim to go through the horrendous ordeal in court.
He did not even have the decency to attend his trial and face up to his actions and instead refused to come out of his prison cell with the trial having to be heard in his absence.
His lack of remorse perfectly sums up who he is as a human being and thankfully we've now been able to remove him from the streets for 22 years and stop him causing any further harm to anymore women.
DC Jackson paid tribute to the victims courage as well as the quick actions of her neighbours in getting her to hospital.
