The incident unfolded after a heated argument where he threatened to throw her out. Despite Herring’s claims that she jumped, the jury convicted him of pushing her. His deceit even extended to controlling and coercive behaviour, having locked her in a room and going through her phone.

The young victim, who survived this ordeal, suffered severe injuries but miraculously avoided serious head trauma. Following an airlift to the hospital and a week-long stay, she was discharged.

CCTV footage revealed Herring’s chilling actions post-fall, as he casually descended the stairs before returning to wrap the injured girl in a blanket and take her back upstairs. It was over an hour before help was called. Alarmingly, his mother, who was present, initially claimed Herring threatened the girl further but later withdrew her statements in court, citing mental health issues and intoxication.

Now behind bars, Herring awaits judgement for his horrifying actions. The victim, whose identity remains protected, displayed incredible courage throughout this traumatic event.
