📝 Case Summary:
In 2024, Dylan Rodgers, aged 27, from Balloch, Dunbartonshire, was jailed for violently assaulting a ten-week-old baby boy. Rodgers admitted to squeezing the baby so hard that three ribs were fractured — injuries described by doctors as worse than those sustained in car crashes.
Rodgers initially denied the incident but later confessed, claiming he was “trying to wind” the baby. The court, however, heard from medical experts who stated that rib fractures in infants from accidental trauma are extremely rare and typically indicate abuse.
Despite his lawyer citing mental health struggles and seeking alternatives to jail, Sheriff Gillian Craig dismissed the plea, stating: “I can’t envisage a more vulnerable victim. It was your job to protect him from harm, instead you caused him harm.”
As Rodgers was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment at Paisley Sheriff Court, the public gallery applauded the decision.
🚨 Additional Notes:
