The court was told he 'frequently' carried out CPR-like compressions on the baby's chest with such force he was bouncing up and down on the mattress. In another assault, Dixon lifted the new-born by his neck and began shaking him after becoming frustrated with his crying. Experts said such assaults could have resulted in 'severe and potentially life-threatening injuries'. Dixon, from Dundee, also admitted carrying out courses of vile domestic abuse against two women – including the boy's mother – between 2021 and 2023. Passing sentencing, Judge Jane Farquharson told the accused: 'That you did not inflict serious injury or permanent damage is only as a result of your good luck and not by your design. 'That you continue to be unable to explain your actions and towards such a vulnerable child, highlights the dangers that you pose if released back into the community without intervention, and particularly as you have expressed the view that contraception is a woman's responsibility.' She highlighted significant aggravations including the age and stage of the baby's development, the repeated nature of Dixon's actions and the danger in which they had placed the child, who can't be identified for legal reasons. She also criticised his failure to do anything about his misconduct despite being aware of the injuries that he inflicted on the baby and the steps he had actively taken to hide his actions from others. Turning to his abusive behaviour during his first, two-month relationship, she said: 'At 19 years of age you were a year older than your then partner, and she was particularly vulnerable given this was her first intimate relationship. Glasgow City Council HACKED with fears customer data breached 'You were immature and jealous and controlling of her. The incident that marked the end of this relationship when you pushed her outside in her underwear was particularly humiliating. 'This offence – as laid out in her Victim Impact Statement – continues to have a profound effect on the complainer's life, both in terms of changing her habits and managing her relationships with family and friends.' She told Dixon the same pattern of abusive behaviour was 'repeated in chillingly familiar detail' across his next intimate relationship after he had turned 20 years of age. She said: 'There is a clear pattern of your coercive control. Aware of the effect of drink and drugs on your behaviour and the impact that it had on your last relationship, you did nothing to address it and continued to abuse substances. 'I note with concern the victim-blaming narrative and misogynistic views that you expressed to the social worker and that [attitude] needs to be addressed by you.' She said Dixon's offending against his second partner was more serious, given its prolonged nature over 12 months and his use of violence while she was pregnant. She reminded him that he had used weapons to threaten her and prevented her from leaving or calling for help, often while she was holding her baby in her arms. The judge said the level of abuse he'd inflicted on the young mum had left her isolated from friends and family and had had an ongoing and daily impact on every aspect of her life. She went on: 'This offending reflects your appalling behaviour towards your intimate partners within two successive relationships, and to a new-born boy before his age of just six weeks. 'In sentencing you today considerations of punishment, deterrence and public protection are all material in this case.' She said the Criminal Justice Social Work report had highlighted that without intervention, the first offender would continue to pose a significant risk of committing more crimes of a seriously harmful nature. Accordingly, she said a lengthier than normal period of licence following his release from custody was necessary to protect the public – in particular any future intimate partner or child – from the risk of serious harm that he was likely to continue to pose. She imposed an extended sentence of 75 months imprisonment, followed by an extension period of 48 months, during which time he will be subject to close monitoring and supervision. She backdated the prison term to run from the date of Dixon's initial remand in custody on December 21, 2023. In addition, she imposed non-harassment orders preventing him from contacting either or both of the woman, for 10 years in the case of his first partner and for an indefinite period in the case of the second.

She said: " Jay Dixon's behaviour shocks every one of us. He is a danger to women and children. A defenceless baby suffered terribly at his hands. "Two women endured violence and coercion which has damaged their lives. I commend the victims in this case for the courage it took to come forward and report his crimes. "They have allowed COPFS prosecutors to ensure Dixon faced justice. To other victims of abuse or violence, or anyone who has witnessed such crime, please report it. We all deserve to live in safety."

Dixon Technologies shares surge over 4%. Here's why
Dixon Technologies shares rose 4.4% to Rs 14,950 in Friday's trade on the BSE after multiple brokerages maintained a positive outlook on the stock, citing strong growth prospects and strategic developments . Nomura reiterated its 'Buy' rating on Dixon Technologies with a target price of Rs 21,409, pointing to strong export momentum and robust smartphone demand driven by global tailwinds. The brokerage said the management remains confident of achieving smartphone production volumes of 60–65 million units by FY27. Dixon is also targeting a 30%–70% business share from key clients like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. Its anchor customer Motorola is ramping up capacity, which is expected to further support volumes. Also Read: 73% down and still no bottom! Will Ola Electric break Rs 38 and slide to Rs 31? Meanwhile, Equirus assigned an 'Add' rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 18,000, stating there are several near-term catalysts for growth. The brokerage addressed market concerns regarding Xiaomi potentially reallocating volumes post-FY26, calling such fears 'premature' as Dixon caters to the sub-Rs 7,000 ASP smartphone segment, which still qualifies for PLI benefits. It also noted that Motorola's diversification plans pose limited risk, with Dixon's 12 million volume order book intact and likely to be offset by higher ASP export models. Equirus added that while the expiry of the PLI scheme may weigh on margins, Dixon is well positioned thanks to its backward integration efforts. Of the 3.9% EBITDA margin expected in FY25, about 0.5% is from PLI benefits. The company's upcoming Chennai facility is expected to boost localisation from 4–5% to 15–17%. Strategic initiatives such as the 70:30 JV with HKC for display modules and plans for a tie-up or acquisition with a global camera module player were also highlighted as long-term positives. These moves are seen as positioning Dixon to benefit from the upcoming Electronics Component Policy in July 2025 and re-engage with global brands. Also Read: Street Favourite! 10 Nifty micro-cap stocks analysts expect to rally up to 60% Dixon Technologies shares are down 27% year-to-date but have surged 350% over the past two years. The company currently has a market capitalisation of Rs 88,841 crore.

Lakers are signing undrafted free agent Eric Dixon to two-way contract
The Los Angeles Lakers made two moves on Thursday that allowed them to nab University of Arkansas wing Adou Thiero, who was taken with the No. 36 pick in the NBA draft. Their decision to acquire his draft rights is seen as a win by plenty of experts across the basketball world. The Lakers also went ahead and signed Eric Dixon, a big man who went undrafted, to a two-way contract. Dixon, who is 6-feet-8 and 265 pounds, spent five years in the NCAA with the University of Villanova, and he led the nation in scoring this past season with an average of 23.3 points a game. Dixon isn't a great rebounder or defender (he grabbed 5.6 boards a game for his college career), but he can certainly score. He shot 40.7% from 3-point range on 7.2 3-point attempts a game and 45.1% overall this past season, and for his college career, he made 38.7% of his attempts from downtown. He earned First-team All-Big East honors for the 2024-25 campaign, and he also attempted 6.1 free throws a game while making 81.3% of them. He attended Abington Senior High School in Montgomery County, Pa., which is where one Kobe Bryant spent a good chunk of his childhood.

Fat Joe claps back against ‘disgusting lies' amid allegations of coercion, sex with minors
Rapper Fat Joe took a stand on social media against allegations of coercion, intimidation and sex with minors that emerged last week in a lawsuit filed by his former hype man. The Bronx native (birth name Joseph Cartagena) broke his silence Wednesday in a statement on Instagram informing followers that he has 'been tested the last few months' with recent deaths in his family — and now legal woes. The 54-year-old musician said he is 'fighting against these disgusting lies' about his alleged behavior and promised, 'I will not break and I will NEVER back down.' Terrance 'T.A.' Dixon filed a federal lawsuit against his former employer last week, accusing Fat Joe of underpayment, swindling him out of pay for his contribution to album tracks, ditching him in foreign countries without money or transportation home and running a criminal organization built on intimidation and violence. The lawsuit also alleges that Fat Joe forced the hype man into approximately 4,000 sex acts with women in front of him and his team and accuses the rapper of having sexual relationships with girls who were 15 and 16. Fat Joe in his statement railed against people in his close circles who 'take my love and kindness for weakness' and claimed that 'people steal from me, grow jealous of me, lie on me.' He said ultimately he and his family face the fallout of betrayal. The 'All the Way Up' rapper did not name Dixon or explicitly relay the allegations against him but instead dwelled on how haters 'decide to go after one of the things you value the most — your reputation,' including by making up 'the most insane stories' as retaliation and taking their grievances to court. He said he won't be shaken down. 'I've never let anyone on the streets extort me, so how would I ever let a crooked attorney and coward ex-hype man extort me?? I'm from the Bronx!' he said. Fat Joe spoke out after his attorney Joe Tacopina dismissed Dixon's allegations as 'complete fabrications.' In April, the rapper sued Dixon for alleged slander after the former hype man accused him on social media of flying a 16-year-old across state lines for sex — hence the suggestion of retaliation. Dixon's attorney Tyrone Blackburn was also subject to Fat Joe's ire as the rapper promised 'we will finish you in court.' New York police arrested Blackburn on Wednesday; he was accused of hitting a process server with his car in New York City and booked on suspicion of assault, NBC News reported. Blackburn's lawyer told XXL the arrest seemed to be 'somewhat of a setup.' Fat Joe concluded his Instagram statement by asserting that the era of attorneys leveraging their 'law license as a badge to extort people and destroy families with no evidence is over!! 'I'm not the one!! You've messed with the wrong one this time!!' Times assistant editor Christie D'Zurilla contributed to this report.
