On Friday, April 13, 2018 Luton Crown Court judge Nic Madge sentenced Jordan Worth to seven and a half years in jail for the domestic abuse of her boyfriend, Alex Skeel. She pleaded guilty to controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate relationship, wounding with intent and causing grievous bodily harm.
Jordan Worth stabbed Alex Skeel with a knife, scalded him with boiling water, banned him from their bed and decided what clothes he should wear.
Worth, who lived with her boyfriend in the village of Stewartby also isolated him from his friends and took over his Facebook account.
In an interview with The Daily Mail Alex Skeel said [1]:
"I thought my limbs might have to be amputated.
I had open burns.
I lost three stones in weight.
I went from 10 stones down to seven.
It was awful.
It was three years of mental abuse and then it turned physical."
The court heard Worth and her partner had met at college in 2012 when they were both 16.
Prosecutor Maryam Syed said a relationship began and later they moved in together but from an early stage she was exercising control over him deciding what he could wear.
But the prosecutor said worse was to come as she became violent towards the man, who the court heard suffered from hydrocephalus which is caused by a buildup of fluid inside the skull which made him vulnerable.
She used blunt objects to strike him, wounded him with a knife and didn't help him get to hospital for treatment. For nine months he couldn't sleep in the same bed as her, the court was told.
Neighbours of the couple often heard them arguing said Miss Syed and the sounds of things being thrown in the house.
She said the victim was heard by his neighbors shouting at Worth: "Get off me, you are hurting me."
He was seen on occasions with black eyes and to be limping and with his arm in a sling. Once Worth was seen at a window by a neighbor armed with a screwdriver or hammer, the court was told.
Another neighbour heard the victim shouting: 'Get off me.
Get off my head.
Don't keep doing that to my head.' She saw burn marks on his arms which he explained away as self-inflicted.
The court heard it was in June of last year that neighbors called police to the couple's home in the village in the early hours after hearing shouting.
Paramedics noted injuries to his hand, burns to arms and legs which were being self treated with cling film. There was cling film round his ankles, and a hand wound that was bleeding. He was taken to Bedford Hospital's acute clinical unit and then to Addenbrookes Hospital.
The prosecutor said he had second and third degree burns which will leave permanent scarring. The court was told Worth had thrown boiling hot water over her partner.
On June 6, 2017 he was examined at the Lister Hospital (Stevenage) and found to have burns on his legs as well as stab wounds about his body and limbs. Days later Worth was arrested.
The court heard the couple are no longer together and Worth, who is in a new relationship, has been living at an address in Ingoldisthorpe, Norfolk.
Jailing her for seven and a half years judge Nic Madge told Worth that as well as the violence she had carried out on her partner she had refused him adequate bedding and food.
He said she would 'belittle' her partner and discouraged him from contacting friends and his family.
He said: 'She accepts that she has in the past, on a number of occasions, used blunt objects and implements to strike him and that he suffered injuries as a result of her doing so.
'She accepts using boiling or hot water to cause injury to him.
She accepts that she has in the past used a knife to cause injury to her partner.'
Worth was also made the subject of a restraining order which prevents her from contacting her ex for an indefinite period.
