Brutal Assault After Prison Release

A 20-year-old man with a violent history, Drew Gibbs, was sentenced for a horrifying assault on a female cyclist — just days after his own release from prison. He threatened to rape and kill her, ripped her piercings, and left her with serious injuries, all while laughing as another cyclist ignored her pleas for help. The same day, he attacked two bus passengers with scissors, one of whom was nearly killed. The victim bravely activated her phone’s emergency feature during the attack. Gibbs, who has a prior conviction for assaulting a woman with a baby in a pram, admitted to all charges and told police the victim was “lucky she got away.” The judge called the assaults “grave concern,” especially the sexual assault on the cyclist, and deferred his sentence pending a risk assessment. Gibbs is now on the sex offenders’ register. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
