HEREFORD MAN SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR CHILD ASSAULT AND GBH
A man named Gary Glyn Morris from Central Avenue, Hereford, was convicted for assaulting a child and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
He appeared before Worcester Crown Court in December, having denied the offence initially.
The prosecution proved that between January 16, 2020, and January 19, 2020, Morris inflicted serious injuries on a child, resulting in grievous bodily harm.
Despite being found guilty of this charge, he was acquitted of an additional charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
The court sentenced Morris to two years and four months in prison, along with a £122 victim surcharge.
His legal proceedings began over two years prior to sentencing, starting with his appearance at Hereford Magistrates' Court and subsequent referral to the Crown Court.
The incident and the trial attracted public attention, and Morris's conviction is a notable outcome in local criminal justice efforts.
