Release from prison of British father

Incident during vacation in Florida

Gibbon (62) and 33-year-old Jasmine Wild were on vacation in Florida when an argument escalated into violence. According to police, Gibbon repeatedly held Wild's head underwater in the hotel pool.

Friends of the couple confirmed they had a relationship prior to this incident. At a court hearing last week, the charge of attempted murder was downgraded to intentional harm using strangulation.

Further circumstances of the case

Gibbon agreed to the bail conditions regarding the charge of causing harm. He is required to wear an electronic bracelet and stay within a designated area until the trial, which will take place later this month, with proceedings starting in early next year.

“Mr. Gibbon has been in Polk County jail since his arrest on August 3, as he was deemed a flight risk,” said a police spokesperson.

Gibbon faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of causing harm using strangulation.

Investigators continue to work on these charges, initially brought by Wild in August. She claims that Gibbon pushed her under the water after stating she was not the primary beneficiary of his will.

Gibbon confirmed that he pushed her but denied the attempted murder charges. He stated that both had been drinking during the conflict, and the situation escalated when Wild struck him.

Wild claimed she 'couldn't breathe' and feared she would 'drown'. It was noted that her nine-year-old daughter was forced to jump into the hotel pool to 'save' her.

Police are also considering recognizing the case as a domestic violence incident. Neighbors described Wild as a 'girlfriend' of Gibbon's father, noting she was often seen at his £800,000 home.

Family members also suggest that Gibbon's son Alex allegedly found Wild in bed with his father about four years ago, coinciding with when Alex and Wild called off their engagement in 2021.

“Alex walked up the stairs and saw Jasmine in bed with his father. They had a huge fight. This was the beginning of the family breakdown... the relationship between Alex and his father significantly worsened,” a source told the Daily Mail.

The events surrounding Mark Gibbon's arrest raise questions about personal relationships within the family as well as domestic violence issues. The case is under thorough investigation by the police, and the public is eagerly awaiting the trial, which will be an important step towards clarifying all circumstances.
