Convicted paedophile Grynhaus recalled to prison over ‘license breach’
Todros Grynhaus - jailed for 13 years and two months in 2015 for indecent assault and sexual assault against two girls - had been released from jail in May, having served half his sentence
Convicted paedophile Todros Grynhaus has been recalled to prison for breaching the terms of his license.
Grynhaus, 57, from Salford, the son of a prominent rabbi, had been jailed for 13 years and two months in July 2015 for indecent assault and sexual assault against two girls aged around 14 and 15.
But he released in May after serving just over half his sentence.
One of his victims, Yehudis Fletcher, tweeted on December 22nd:” As a Chanukah gift to the Jewish community whose children are now immediately safer I’m relieved to share that this morning I have been informed that Todros Grynhaus has been recalled to prison for breach the conditions of his license.”

Jewish News understands that he was recalled to prison after he entered an exclusion zone set out in the terms of his parole.
Former Justice Secretary Dominic Raab failed in a bid to overturn to the decision to release Grynhaus from jail earlier this year.
Grynhaus’ case was cited in last year’s report into abuse within religious communities by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
