In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Kyran Smith, then 29, of London Road, Staines, Surrey, was sentenced to prison for a predatory hotel room assault. On Friday, 23 January 2026, Smith appeared at Reading Crown Court, Berkshire, where he was handed a seven-year and six-month custodial sentence.
The investigation established that in December 2022, Smith and his victim, a woman now in her thirties, attended the same party before staying at a hotel in Maidenhead, Berkshire. Around 2 am, after the victim had retired to her room, Smith went to the hotel reception and obtained the victim’s room key through deception. The victim awoke in her bed to find Smith carrying out a sexual assault. After she shouted at him to leave, Smith dressed, returned the key to reception, and went to his own room.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Smith had deliberately misled hotel staff to gain unauthorised access to the victim’s private room. Reading Crown Court heard that the victim reported the incident the following morning to hotel staff and her acquaintances. Following a four-day trial in November 2025, a jury found Smith guilty of one count each of trespass with intent to commit a relevant sexual offence and sexual assault.
The judge noted that the calculated nature of the deception used to enter the room was a significant aggravating factor. For his actions in Maidenhead, Berkshire, the court determined that a substantial prison term was necessary to address the trauma inflicted on the victim. The prosecution noted that the investigation by Thames Valley Police was instrumental in proving the non-consensual nature of the entry and the subsequent assault.
