EXCLUSIVECancer-hit grandfather says 'really evil' wedding DJ who urinated on him for a prank is a 'filthy animal' who should have been jailed for at least six months
- Part-time wedding DJ Leigh Brookfield was jailed for 14 weeks for the sick stunt
- Grandfather Peter Barton, 72, said the court was too soft on his sentence
A cancer-stricken grandfather has branded the man who urinated on him for a prank as a 'filthy animal'.
Peter Barton, 72, said the court was too soft on part-time wedding DJ Leigh Brookfield who was jailed for 14 weeks.
Retired builder Mr Barton said: 'He should have got at least six months. It was such a horrible thing to do, inhuman and really evil.'
The two men had never met before but found themselves next to each other on Boxing Day in the toilets of a squash club.
Mr Barton was having trouble passing water and, out of embarrassment, said he was suffering from prostate cancer.

Brookfield, 40, said 'Sorry to hear that' before proceeding to urinate up Mr Barton's back - filming the sick stunt on his mobile phone.
The pensioner didn't realise what had happened and was mystified when Brookfield later asked him to smile for his phone camera while standing at the bar.
Mr Barton said: 'He told me: "I've got you twice now", I didn't know what he was on about.
'The next morning the chairman of the squash club knocked on my door at 8am to tell me what had happened. I was disgusted.'
By that time hundreds of people in Llanelli, West Wales, had seen Brookfield's Snapchat video of him urinating on the unwell widower.
Mr Barton, who lost his wife Delyth eight years ago, said: 'Later on the police came and asked me if I had the clothes I was wearing.
'I'd put them in the machine but I was out of washing powder so I hadn't switched it on.
'It was lucky - they were able to take the clothes away for evidence.'
Brookfield was arrested and appeared at Llanelli Magistrates Court this week where he admitted a charge of common assault.
He apologised for his disgusting behaviour and was ordered to pay his victim £500 compensation before being led to the cells.

Father-of-two Mr Barton said: 'I'm glad he went to jail but 14 weeks isn't long enough for him.
'I'm sure a few people in prison will teach him a lesson when they find out what he did.
'I have enough problems at the moment without having to put up with such vile behaviour from the likes of him.'
Mr Barton was diagnosed with prostate cancer three months ago and is undergoing tests to discover his long-term prognosis.
He had some good news this week when a scan revealed the cancer had not spread to his bones.
The pensioner is looking forward to going back to Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club where he enjoys a pint with his mates while watching rugby on TV.
He added: 'I go for the company, there are some nice people there who take an interest in me and my health problems.
'But then you get a filthy animal like him coming in and spoiling it.
'I've never seen the idiot before but I know his father. He's a nice fellow, we are about the same age. I wonder what he makes of it?
'I have to be honest, it's affected my dignity. I don't want the whole town to know I'm the man who was peed on like that.'
Father-of-one Brookfield will miss the birth of his new baby because he will still be banged up when it arrives next month.

Judge Mark Layton said the DJ was 'mocking' a vulnerable man and filming it as a prank
His partner was in tears in the public gallery as Judge Mark Layton said the DJ was 'mocking' a vulnerable man and filming it as a prank.
Since the incident there has been an outpouring of support for Mr Barton in the local community. A fundraiser has already raised £590 - nearly six times more than the initial target.
Mr Barton said he had been sent a knitted scarf, a selection of jams and marmalades and other gifts since his Boxing Day ordeal.
He said: 'People have been very kind, they know I live on my own and want to cheer me up after what happened.'
Mr Barton has big plans for the £500 compensation Brookfield must pay him as part of his sentence.
He said: 'I'll use it to visit my granddaughter who lives in Belgium. Now my wife has gone, she's my favourite person anywhere. I'd love to go and see her.'
