Court Footage Shows Victim Pleading for Release of Accused Ex-Father-In-Law

Prosecutors are seeking a formal indictment following inconsistencies in the victim’s police and court statements.

Overview

  • Newly unsealed footage shows Jasmine Wyld describing Mark Gibbon as a “very trusting character” and urging his release from custody.
  • At a bail hearing, Judge Jalal Harb highlighted contradictions between Wyld’s initial account to detectives, her court testimony, and her daughter’s statement before denying bond.
  • Gibbon remains jailed without bond on charges of attempted second-degree murder and two counts of battery for an alleged drowning attempt at a Solterra Resort villa on Aug. 3.
  • Media reports that Gibbon and Wyld entered a consensual relationship after their prior marriages prompted UK social services to contact the family over child-welfare concerns.
  • Polk County prosecutors are preparing for a formal indictment hearing in September, citing flight-risk concerns tied to Gibbon’s UK citizenship and assets.
