## Summary

Jordan Adlard-Rogers, who inherited a large Cornish estate after DNA evidence established he was the son of its aristocratic owner, has been found guilty of grievous bodily harm. The conviction relates to a 2024 pub fight in which another man’s leg was broken; sentencing is due in December, and the judge warned that immediate custody is possible.

The court heard that Adlard-Rogers punched Sebastian Winzar at a pub in Porthleven on 13 July 2024, causing him to fall and fracture his leg in two places. Winzar spent five days in hospital and had an operation; CCTV footage was presented to the jury. Adlard-Rogers said he had punched Winzar because he felt threatened. He inherited the 1,536-acre Penrose Estate in 2019 after Charles Rogers died in 2018; the family had given the land to the National Trust in 1974 in return for a long lease to remain there.
