John Gibson jailed for non-recent sexual offences in Fife
A 79-year-old man has been jailed for three years at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Monday, 10 March, 2025, after being convicted of non-recent sexual offences.
John Gibson carried out the offences towards three girls and one boy between 1996 and 2015 in Fife.
He was reported to police in May, 2023 and an investigation was launched. He was arrested in September, 2023 and convicted at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on Thursday, 13 February 2025.
Detective Sergeant Ross French from Fife Public Protection Unit said: "John Gibson is a predator who refused to admit his guilt and has shown no remorse for his crimes.
"Our thoughts remain with his victims who have shown incredible strength throughout the reporting and court process. I hope his conviction and sentencing will offer them some form of comfort.
"Police Scotland is committed to tackling all forms of sexual crime, no matter how much time has passed since they took place. We have officers dedicated to investigating such offences. Please report it in the confidence that you will be fully supported by our officers and partner agencies."
