Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed for sex offences in Maidenhead. 

Kyran Smith, aged 29 of London Road, Staines, was sentenced to seven years and six months imprisonment, at a hearing at Reading Crown Court on 23 January 2026.  

Smith was found guilty, following a four-day trial at the same court on 11 November 2025, of one count each of trespass with intent to commit a relevant sexual offence and sexual assault. 

In December 2022, Smith and the victim, a woman who is now in her thirties, attended the same party. After the party, they and others left to stay the night in a hotel.  

When the victim, and others, retired to their own individual rooms at around 2am, Smith went to the reception and obtained – by deception – the victim’s hotel room key.  

The victim, who was asleep, awoke to Smith carrying out his sexual assault in her bed.  

She shouted at Smith to get out and he did, after putting his clothes on. Smith returned the room key to reception and went to his own hotel room.  

The next morning, the victim reported what had happened to the hotel staff and her acquaintances.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Arshid Ali said: “I welcome the sentencing which reflects the seriousness of the offence and the dangerous nature of the defendant.   

“Thames Valley Police treat all sexual offences with the utmost seriousness, particularly those committed against women, which fall within the national framework of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).   

“Our officers are committed to investigating these crimes thoroughly, supporting victims throughout the criminal justice process and working with partner agencies to reduce offending.   

“We will continue to prioritise the identification, arrest and prosecution of those who commit sexual violence.”
