A man has been jailed after causing ‘Catastrophic’ life-changing injuries to a defenceless four-week-old baby boy.

Following a long and detailed investigation carried out by Thames Valley Police, Luke Thorp, 27, from Binfield pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm without intent. 

On 28th May, Thorp was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment at Reading Crown Court. 

On 12th January 2016 in Bracknell, Thorp took hold of the defenceless four-week-old baby by the arms and shook him with such force that the baby endured serious head injuries. 

The baby suffered severe brain injuries which resulted in Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. 

Investigating officer Detective Constable Kathryn Webb based at Windsor police station, said: 

“After a complex and challenging case I am pleased that justice has been served. 

“The baby in this case tragically sustained catastrophic life-changing injuries in just one momentary loss of control.

“There is no excuse for injuring a child, but I am relieved that Thorp pleaded guilty to these offences and will now spend time behind bars for his actions.”

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

    It should have been 33 years! That baby will have to be looked after for its whole life. I hope they find out in jail what he has done and that he doesnt get out alive. Its time the sentences matched the crime in this country

    I don’t believe it. Three years for giving a lifetime of misery to an innocent child. It depresses me every time I read these kind of sentences. The Judicial System is not fit for purpose.
