A 40-year-old Welsh wedding DJ has
been slapped with a 14-week imprisonment for urinating on a Cancer patient.
DJ Leigh Brookfield was
arraigned at the Llanelli Magistrates Court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty
to common assault after he filmed himself urinating on Peter Barton, a Cancer
patient, in a public toilet before posting it on social media.
The incident occurred on
Boxing Day at the Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club in Carmarthenshire,
southwestern Wales.
Barton had been telling
Brookfield that he was undergoing treatment for his prostate cancer, but the DJ
drunkenly mocked him.
The judge said his response to
urinate over the back of the man’s clothing instead of offering sympathy was an
assault of a vulnerable victim.
According to Sky News, the
victim was unaware of what happened until he saw the video of the incident online.
