"Her partner Mark Gordon, a convicted rapist who spent 22 years in a Florida prison, must also serve 14 years after the parents were found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter of the baby girl, called Victoria.

The parents were found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter after baby Victoria died from hypothermia while the couple hid off-grid in a flimsy tent on the South Downs. Officers recovered a beer can, scraps of newspaper, nappies, a Coke can and an old sandwich packet before uncovering the infant's remains beneath soil and leaves. Her partner Mark Gordon, a convicted rapist who spent 22 years in a Florida prison, received 14 years plus four years on extended licence; the mother received 14 years. Judge Mark Lucraft KC said the pair showed no genuine remorse and had prioritized themselves over the child's welfare.
