A court has heard how a woman and a girl who were sexually attacked by a vile predator were affected.

Issa Brayzi-Pour raped a 70-year-old woman in Farnworth who he had been in the same pub as.

He followed her down the streets in August last year, put his arm around her before raping her twice.

Twelve days before this incident, the 22-year-old led a 13-year-old girl off a main street in Farnworth, asked her to perform a sexual activity on him and sexually assaulted her.

At Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court this week, Brayzi-Pour, of Avondale Road, Wigan, was jailed for 13 years and told he must serve an extra five years on licence.

He was convicted by a jury of two counts of rape against the 70-year-old woman and of sexual assault and inciting an underage girl to engage in sexual activity, in respect of the 13-year-old.

And the court heard how the two victims had been affected by the actions of Brayzi-Pour.

Recorder Andrew McCloughlin read out details of the impact on them as he delivered the sentence.

The 70-year-old “finds it extremely hard to come to terms with what had happened".

Recorder McCloughlin said: “She doesn’t feel safe.

“She has become isolated and feels dirty.

“She has received help for her mental health and counselling.

“She will not forget what has happened to her.

“He has changed her in a lot of ways, she has lost her self-confidence.”

Moving onto the crimes against the impact on the 13-year-old girl, Recorder McCloughlin said she “felt it was her fault".

He said: “She never goes into a taxi alone because she feels scared.

“‘She describes men as being ‘unpredictable.’”

Brayzi-Pour struck just 10 months after his arrival in the country as an asylum seeker from Iran.

The judge blasted him for his claims the incidents were consensual.

He said: "It would appear in my judgement there was no remorse shown by you, in your letter to this court you are still of the view these incidents, serious criminal offences, took place by consent.

"Frankly that bears no relationship with the detailed evidence this court listened to."
