Salford man jailed for 13 years for sex offences against young girls


A man has been jailed for historic sex offences against two people in Salford.

Todros Grynhaus 50, from Salford was found guilty of four counts of indecent assault of a girl under the age of 16, two counts of indecent assault of a girl under the age of 14 and sexual assault following a trial at Manchester Crown Court

Today, Friday 10 July 2015, he was sentenced to 13 years and two months.  He has also signed the sex offenders register for life.

Between 1996 and 2004, he sexually abused a girl from when she was seven to the age of 15 in the Salford area.

In 2004, Grynhaus sexually abused another 15-year-old girl in the Salford area.

Following a disclosure, police were contacted in November 2012 and an investigation was launched.

In February 2013, Grynhaus fled to Jerusalem but was deported in September 2014 and arrested.

Detective Sergeant Joanne Kay said: “Grynhaus had gained the trust of his victims before sexually assaulting and abusing them. He thought he could get away with his crime but thanks to their bravery in coming forward and supporting this investigation, we have been able to prosecute him.

“This case goes to show no matter when the offence took place, justice will eventually catch up with you. We take all sexual crime reports extremely seriously and victims will be supported by specialist officers thorough out the investigation. If you have been a victim, please do not suffer in silence and call police.

“I would also ask those who may be aware of such crimes taking place within their community to report them to police. All reports will be treated with the strictest of confidence.”
