James Hamilton, serving an indeterminate sentence for rape, attacked another inmate in his cell at HMP Whatton. The unprovoked assault left the victim with 22% burns and permanent scars. Hamilton claimed he wanted to be moved to another prison but the judge dismissed this as a motive, stating he chose the victim simply for his own aim.
A Nottingham rapist who carried out a sex attack on a teenage stranger outside a college threw a bowl of boiling water over a prisoner in a wheelchair. Nottingham Crown Court heard how James Hamilton's unprovoked assault left the victim with 22 per cent burns to his body. The man spent 19 days in hospital being treated and now has permanent scars across his body.
“Another person heard you say to ‘this is nothing personal’ and so you chose him as your victim simply for your personal aim.” In March 2011 Hamilton, then of Cherry Orchard Mount, was handed an indefinite prison term for the rape of a 17-year old in the grounds of the Open University in Carrington, Nottingham.
“He was immediately taken to hospital by ambulance and remained there for 19 days. He stated ‘I don’t know why Mr Hamilton threw the water over me’. He had to have blistered skin scraped from him and that the pain was, in his words, ‘indescribable’.
