Haydock man jailed for sexually assaulting teenage girl

A Haydock man has today, Friday 14 February, been jailed for four years and six months after admitting sexually assaulting a teenage girl.

Jordan Kilbride, 32, of William Road, admitted a charge of assault by penetration in relation to an incident in the Haydock area in 2022.

He was jailed today at Liverpool Crown Court and also ordered to sign the Sex Offender’s Register indefinitely, given a 10-year Sexual Harm prevention order and an indefinite restraining order.

Detective Inspector Carla Cross said: “This was a shocking assault on a teenage girl which has had a long-lasting impact.

“I would like to take this opportunity to praise her bravery in coming forward and reporting the assault and for the composure and dignity she displayed throughout the course of the investigation.

“Kilbride originally denied all knowledge of the offence but CCTV and forensic enquiries were able to uncover the lies he told and today he is behind bars as a result of his actions.

“I hope that this will give courage for other victim-survivors to come forward and speak to us in the knowledge they will be dealt with sensitively and compassionately.”

Anyone with information or wants to report a sexual offence is asked to call 101 where you will be spoken to by specially trained officers or you can pass information to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, always call 999.

If you have been a victim of sexual assault or rape, you can access specialist support services, which are free of charge and available to anyone. You do not need a referral or to have reported an incident to Merseyside Police before you access these specialist support services.

These services can support you in a variety of ways, including offering a confidential discussion if you are thinking of making a police report, but are unsure what that involves and would like to discuss it.
If you do decide to report to Merseyside Police, you will receive support throughout the investigation and court processes.

You can choose to make an anonymous report through the Sexual Assault Referral Centre called Safe Place, or the Independent Sexual Violence Advisor service, rather than coming directly to Merseyside Police.

With no police involvement, a specialist doctor at Safe Place can examine you to check that you are okay and look for DNA evidence, which they will store to support your case. This gives you the option of making a formal police report at a later time, if you choose to.

Support is also available in Liverpool, Sefton and Wirral, from Rape and Sexual Abuse Support (RASA) Merseyside who are available on 0151 558 1801 and, in St Helens and Knowsley, by the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre (RASASC) Cheshire and Merseyside who can be contacted on 01925 221 546 or 0330 363 0063.

Support is also available through the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Victim Care Merseyside service: Victim Care Merseyside | Merseyside Police
