Jordan Hall, a 19-year-old man from Chestfield Close, Gillingham, has been jailed after admitting to mutilating a baby boy’s genitals after he urinated on him.

The horrific abuse occurred a year ago when Jordan Hall was 18. He claims he was watching the baby boy and was bent over when the child urinated on him. Initially, he stated that he did nothing more than grab the baby’s penis to redirect the flow, but he later admitted to mutilating the baby’s genitals as a result.

Kent Online shared that Hall ensured the child was taken to the hospital after he started bleeding from his genitals. While there, staff heard the horrendous screams of the baby and arrived to see what the cause might be. Upon investigation, it was determined that the injuries were not accidental and the authorities were called.

Prosecutor Martin Yale shared that Hall was rather silent at first, refusing to answer any questions.

“There was a suggestion there might be a bite mark or ligature. Mr Hall chose not to answer questions.”

Yale went on to explain that Hall did not realize he used so much force on the child until blood was present.

Hall’s defending attorney, Tom Stern, shared that he has been a model citizen since the incident, and his behavior should be taken into account at sentencing. He states that Hall meant no harm at the time, according to the Mirror. He also stated that Hall is a victim of poor upbringing, introduced to cannabis and alcohol at a young age, and had an overall rough life.

“He acted impulsively and excessively. There was no intention to cause harm. He accepted his culpability and tried to improve himself.”

Judge Michael Carroll sentenced Hall to 14 months in youth custody for mutilating the child’s genitals, stating that his previous convictions were evidence that the incident was not isolated.

“In the four to five seconds he was acting recklessly he managed to inflict these injuries on that little lad’s genitalia. The force he must have applied must have been pretty excessive because he had the temerity to urinate, as baby’s often do. It set in train a series of events which, in my view, are gross and horrific.”

The actual extent of the mutilation has not been released, but it was revealed that there was a severe cut and bruising.
