Where is Daniel Gilbert now?
Gilbert is currently in jail after being convicted of grievous bodily harm.
In June 2019 he was jailed for three years for "forcibly shaking" a baby, leaving the child with permanent brain damage.
During the trial, evidence emerged that Gilbert’s accounts of what had happened that night were inconsistent.
Medical experts ruled out that the baby’s injuries could have been caused naturally and concluded that he had been forcefully shaken.
What happened to his seven-week old baby?
Gilbert was caring for the seven-week-old in August 2017 when the boy became floppy, started bleeding and went into cardiac arrest, police said.
Bedfordshire Police said it was "unlikely" the child would ever be able to walk or feed without a tube.
Gilbert from Harpenden was found guilty at Luton Crown Court of causing grievous bodily harm.
Emergency services were called to reports of an unresponsive baby on 9 August 2017 and paramedics resuscitated the boy before he was taken to the Luton and Dunstable Hospital.
He suffered a bleed to the brain, bleeding to both eyes and his heart stopped.
Medical experts ruled out natural causes for the injuries and concluded the boy had been shaken "severely and forcibly", police said.
Det Insp Justine Jenkins said: "Gilbert's actions left this poor defenceless baby with such appalling injuries, which have changed his life forever.
"I am pleased that he has received a custodial sentence for this."
