Alex's ex-girlfriend Jordan Worth admitted physically and mentally abusing her boyfriend before being jailed for seven years and six months at Luton Crown Court in early 2018.

From Art Student to Violent Criminal

The 22-year-old volunteered to care for abandoned animals and raised money for children in Africa. But at the couple’s home in Stewartby, Bedfordshire, Jordan ruthlessly controlled her boyfriend Alex Skeel’s life.

Jordan and Alex met at university in 2012 when they were both 16 and moved in together. From the start, she expressed a desire to control Alex's entire life.

The torture left Alex with severe hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in his skull. Jordan beat her boyfriend with objects such as knives and hammers but refused to let him go to the hospital for treatment.

The girl even poured boiling water on Alex's hand and forced him to wrap his burn with plastic wrap, causing second and third degree burns to his hand.

Go public

In addition to beating and starving him, the controlling girlfriend also stabbed and threatened to run Alex over with her car if he tried to escape.

Jordan forced Alex to sleep on the floor for 9 months and prevented him from talking to his family and friends. She also took over Jordan's Facebook account and lied that his relatives had died, preventing Alex from seeing his family for 2 years.

Due to starvation, Alex suffered from memory loss and mental confusion. Noticing that something was wrong with the house, the neighbors reported it to the police. However, Alex lied and said that the injuries on his body were self-inflicted.

The incident was only discovered last June when neighbours heard them fighting and called the police. A police officer then persuaded him to tell the horrifying truth.

Jordan was immediately arrested and Alex was taken to a hotel for the night and was given a McDonald's box by police. He told The Sun it was the best meal he had had in nine months before his rescue.

When Alex returned to his parents in Bedford, he weighed less than 100 pounds and had multiple open, infected wounds. Doctors said he would die if he were held captive for another 10 days. Alex also said Jordan had stabbed him in the arm, severing a tendon, and his wrists had been cut.

To prevent Alex from revealing the abuse, Jordan forced her boyfriend to walk with her to school every day and continued to beat Alex in the car. After being rescued, Alex underwent several brain, head and hand surgeries.

The victim claimed he went public with the incident to encourage other abused men to stand up and fight back.
