Constance Marten and Mark Gordon are a couple who went off-grid between 5 January 2023, when their burning car was found abandoned near Bolton, until the date of their arrest on 27 February 2023, in Brighton. Their disappearance coincided with the birth of their daughter. When the couple were subsequently arrested, they were not with their baby, triggering a police search involving over 200 officers across an area of around 90 sq mi (230 km2) extending from Brighton to Newhaven.
Gordon, who is on trial with his partner Constance Marten over the death of their child, was previously jailed in the US.
The alleged assault happened in the hours after Constance Marten gave birth to their first child.
