Man, 35, handed extra time in jail for raping and strangling teen

A monster who raped a teenage girl through a night and into the next morning has had his prison sentence extended after a court ruled it was "unduly lenient".

Matthew Grant, 35, also punched his 16-year-old victim repeatedly, threw her against a wall and strangled her. Over the course of the horrific attack, the victim suffered a perforated ear drum and sustained heavy bruising all over her body.

On July 5 this year, Grant was sentenced to 11 years’ imprisonment at Wolverhampton Crown Court for offences including six counts of rape and a count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
