ADAM CARNELL AND MEDWAY: TEACHER CLIVE GIBSON SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES IN 2016

In March 2016, Clive Gibson, a teacher from Medway, was warned he could face immediate custody after admitting to sexual offenses involving a teenage girl. The court heard that Gibson, aged 52, had previously pleaded guilty to several charges, including sexual assault and causing a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity. The judge emphasized that imprisonment was inevitable and highlighted that Gibson’s grooming behavior and abuse of trust had significantly damaged his reputation and future employment opportunities. It was also noted that he would be closely monitored during his sentence to protect public safety.
