Offence Summary

Todros Grynhaus was jailed for sexually abusing two underage girls between 1996 and 2004. He avoided paying court-ordered compensation to his victims by claiming poverty, despite links to a property firm worth over £1.2 million.

Full Description

Todros Grynhaus, a convicted paedophile, was sentenced to prison in 2015 for committing seven counts of sexual abuse against two underage girls. The offences occurred between 1996 and 2004, targeting vulnerable minors in what the court described as serious breaches of trust.

At Manchester Crown Court, Grynhaus received a custodial sentence, though the exact length beyond imprisonment is not specified in available reports. In addition to his jail term, the court ordered him to pay £80,000 in compensation to his victims and £35,000 towards prosecution costs. However, in 2018, a district judge discharged these financial orders after Grynhaus claimed he had no assets to fulfil them. This decision was supported by a letter from Fastpay Ltd, a company founded by Grynhaus, which stated it had 'no legal obligation' to provide him financial assistance and was 'unable and unwilling' to help, as confirmed in court by the company's legal team.

Recent investigations by Jewish News have revealed discrepancies in Grynhaus's financial claims. Despite his assertions of poverty, Grynhaus is linked to Heywood Investments Limited, a property firm incorporated in 2022 and co-directed by him and his wife, Leah Grynhaus. Leah also serves as a director of Fastpay Ltd, which provides financial services to high-profile clients including the NHS, Sheffield United Football Club, and various media outlets. Company accounts for Heywood ending January 2024 show £1,227,741 in investment properties, with over £1 million recently transferred from Fastpay Ltd to Heywood. This funding enabled the purchase of four houses in the Greater Manchester area.

Two of the properties are believed to be owned by Heywood Investments.
Grynhaus resides in one of these homes, while the other is rented out on Airbnb, notably located opposite a children's playground, raising further concerns about public safety.

Grynhaus has not been a director of Fastpay since 2013, prior to his sentencing. He was released from prison in 2022 after serving just over half his sentence but was briefly recalled later that year for breaching licence conditions. He was released again in 2023. Fastpay Ltd has yet to respond to requests for comment on these revelations. The case highlights ongoing issues with the enforcement of victim compensation in sex offence cases, as reported by Jewish News and referenced in a Manchester Evening News article on the properties.
