Assistant State’s Attorney James Newman said Jordan’s daughter went to Woodland Elementary School on March 12 and complained she was in pain over her entire body.<\/p>\n
The girl said Terry-Hemphill and her mother had beaten her the previous day with a belt because she was late getting up for school.<\/p>\n
An examination at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville revealed bruises on her back, buttocks, thighs and arms that appeared to have been made by a belt, Newman said.<\/p>\n
Terry-Hemphill and Jordan were arrested the following day at their apartment in the 3400 block of North Almond Road and charged with aggravated battery to a child.<\/p>\n
Newman said he agreed to reduce the charges against both in exchange for the guilty plea to spare the victim the trauma of testifying in court.<\/p>\n
Jordan is scheduled to be sentenced March 4, and Terry-Hemphill’s sentencing is set for April 5.<\/p>\n
Both are held on $500,000 bond.<\/p>\n
