Pretty Jordan Worth from the English county of Bedfordshire has always left the impression of a kind and sympathetic person. She was supposed to become a teacher, but, alas, a college graduate unexpectedly revealed her sinister side to everyone: the girl was found guilty of systematically beating her boyfriend Alex Skeel, who could not stand up for himself due to illness — he suffers from hydrocephalus.
Luton City Court considered the case of Worth, who was suspected of domestic violence after reports from her neighbors. The investigation found that the girl, who has always been distinguished by exemplary behavior, graduated from school with honors, took care of homeless animals, worried about starving children in Africa, in the period from April 2016 to June 2017, constantly bullied her young man. Worth completely controlled Skeel's life, chose his clothes and daily routine, and in case of disobedience she beat him, including with a hammer and a screwdriver, and even poured boiling water over him. The domineering girl started dating Alex in college in 2012, when they were both 16 years old. They began to live together and settled in Stewartby in Bedfordshire. But the prosecution side at the trial showed that from the very beginning Worth was excessively controlling her young man.The girl forbade him to meet with family and friends, took control of his social accounts, told him what to wear and when to make love to her. In addition, the guy slept on the floor, he could not go to bed with Worth in the same bed.
Soon the psychological violence was replaced by physical violence: the girl began to beat Alex regularly. She was not even stopped by the fact that Skil suffers from hydrocephalus, or dropsy, that is, a violation of the normal development of the brain associated with excessive accumulation of fluid in it.
The neighbors sounded the alarm when they noticed that Alex was limping, covered with bruises, and his arm was hanging lifelessly in a sling. During one of the quarrels, they called the police.
Doctors, when examining the victim, found second and third degree burns on his hands, wrapped in food wrap. The guy claimed that he burned himself, but the evil lady of his heart did not let him into the hospital. Moreover, doctors noticed that he had numerous bruises and puncture wounds.The girl was sentenced to 7.5 years and banned from approaching Alex Skil for life. It was noted at the trial that this is the first time that a woman has been convicted of such a crime, in particular because bullying within the family is often completely invisible to others, especially when a girl acts as an abuser.
