Jody Simpson is set for early release from prison after serving seven years of a ten-year sentence for severely abusing her newborn son, Tony Hudgell. Tony suffered horrific injuries, including amputations, due to the abuse he endured within the first 41 days of his life. Despite surviving, he faces lifelong challenges related to his injuries. His adoptive parents, Paula and Mark Hudgell, have openly criticized the parole decision, emphasizing the profound impact of his mother's actions on his life and advocating for stronger penalties for child abusers.
Tony has life-long injuries every day he suffers due to her hands. Tony has since helped raise millions for charity through completing a series of challenges, and has received the British Empire Medal for services to the prevention of child abuse.
A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Jody Simpson following an oral hearing. Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.
