  • The Man Who Was So Badly Abused He was 10 Days From Death

    When Alex Skeel was finally taken to a hospital in June 2017, doctor’s told him he was 10 days away from death.

    His girlfriend at the time, Jordan Worth, subjected Alex to a year of torture and domestic violence and for nine months between 2016 – 2017, Alex was forced to sleep on the floor of their Bedfordshire home using clothes as blankets and pillows.

    During one period, Alex was forced to ingest an entire packet of sleeping pills before going to a fair with Jordan.

    Alex was only allowed to seek medical treatment after the police were called when Jordan had hit him in the arm with a bread knife, cutting Alex so deeply he almost bled out.

    During their relationship, Jordan would throw boiling water on Alex while he slept, beat him on a daily basis, telling him that anytime she missed a day, she would then make up for it the following night.

    Alex was never allowed to seek out medical attention for any of his injuries and at one point, was forced to pull out one of his teeth after Worth had struck him violently with a hairbrush.

    In 2017 Jordan was sentenced to 7 years in prison on the charges of grievous bodily harm and an additional 6 months for coercive and abusive behaviour. She is the first woman in the entire United Kingdom to have been handed this sentence..

    He had two children with Jordan and believed that if he didn’t take the abuse, she would turn her attention on to their children.

    The abuse also didn’t start immediately, it was small things here and there at first.

    Alex endured his torture purely to protect his own children as Jordan has threatened multiple times that she would injure their children.

    Domestic Abuse doesn’t just affect woman, if you are a victim of domestic abuse, be it emotional, financial or physical please speak out, please find the strength to walk away

  • Raped and Tortured I’m Now Left Broken and Empty

    Towards the end of August last year, my now ex, raped me.

    We had been living together for over a year, I loved and trusted him more than anyone I had been with previously and for the first time in my life, I was considering his requests for the future involving marriage and children. Despite my feelings I ended our relationship, he is an alcoholic and I couldn’t take the lies that stemmed from his addiction any longer.

    He moved out, he was dating other girls and I had started to see someone else. The first night i finally allowed the new man in my life to spend the night in my home, my ex got drunk and over a period of hours sent a barrage of abusive messages. He then showed up at our apartment around 5am,stating he was there to comfort me after all the nasty things he had sent, his attitude quickly changed when i told him I had someone over.

    I did not want to hurt him, i still loved him deeply, I was horrified that he had returned to our apartment to find someone else there. He stayed and we argued, he told me I should kill myself, amongst other hateful things and I wept and begged him to stop. He waited around until my date left for work, when we were alone he did not hold back any longer.

    He enjoyed seeing me cry and begging him to stop being so hateful and I failed to see that his arousal that followed, was from seeing me pleading and hurt. The last thing he said before he proceeded to rape and torture me over the course of several hours, was that he, “was a bad person and was going to enjoy this”.

    He hit me till I was dazed, then dragged me by my hair, ripping chunks out and hung me over the edge of our bed, he poured rum down my throat and when I choked or tried to spit it out he hit me again. He continued forcing alcohol upon me and hitting me around my head throughout the attack. He beat, raped, sodomizied and tortured me for hours, until he passed out drunk. I cried the whole time, he kept asking if it hurt, then saying, “it doesn’t matter how you feel, it doesn’t matter what you want”. At one point he grabbed my wrists and said to me, “this isn’t you, you’re a fighter, why aren’t you fighting me?”

    I have wanted to kill myself everyday since then, I felt constant horror that he could have done that to me and I felt sick because I still loved him.

    On November 30th I was assaulted at work, a glass was smashed in my face, knocking out most of my front teeth and either dislodging or fracturing the rest, my teeth are now wired into my mouth. I have had nothing but time for over a month now and I find myself constantly reliving both the rape and the assault.

    I cannot bear that he just gets to walk away and continue on with his life, continue seeking happiness and fulfilment while I am left broken and empty. It weighs me down so much but I don’t know what I can do, I am not strong enough to go to the police and go up against him whilst also dealing with the assault trial. I just want people to see him as he truly is; a sociopathic monster and I am plagued by the thought that if he hurts someone else in the future, it will be my fault. I feel so helpless.
