JASON QUIMBY OF NOTTINGHAM SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL GROOMING AND KNIFE ATTACK ON BROTHER
In a series of disturbing incidents that have shocked the Nottingham community, Jason Quimby has been convicted and sentenced for two separate acts of violence and misconduct.The first incident, which took place in April 2018, involved Quimby engaging in online predatory behavior targeting a minor.
The second, from October 2012, saw him violently attacking his own brother with a kitchen knife.
In the 2018 case, Quimby, who was unemployed at the time, appeared before Nottingham Crown Court to face charges related to his online conduct.
It was revealed that he had initiated contact with what he believed was a 13-year-old girl’s profile.
Over a period, Quimby sent hundreds of messages expressing his affection and desire to meet for sexual activity.
His messages were persistent, and he made it clear that if the girl did not meet him, he would become angry.
However, the individual he was communicating with was not a real child but a member of the online child protection team known as ‘Totnes Justice,’ who pose as minors to catch predators.
Quimby’s actions led to his conviction for attempting to cause or incite engagement in sexual activity.
He was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
The judge also ordered that he be placed on the sex offenders register for a period of 10 years.
Additionally, a 10-year sexual harm prevention order was imposed, restricting his internet use and prohibiting any unsupervised contact with children.
These measures aim to prevent further offenses and protect potential victims.
In a separate and equally troubling incident from October 2012, Quimby, then 37 years old and residing in Mansfield, was involved in a violent altercation with his brother.
On April 18th of that year, following an argument, Quimby retrieved a kitchen knife and attacked his 30-year-old sibling.
He stabbed his brother twice in the chest, causing small but shallow wounds.
Prior to the attack, Quimby had threatened to kill his brother, and after stabbing him, he put the knife down, apologized, and the two reconciled temporarily.
Despite this reconciliation, the following day, the brothers argued again.
Quimby retrieved the same knife and once more stabbed his brother in the chest.
During the incident, Quimby called an ambulance but also threatened to kill his brother if he was not quiet.
Quimby was arrested at the scene and admitted to the police that he had carried out the attack because he was annoyed with his brother and had the intention to kill him.
It was also revealed that Quimby had a history of violent behavior towards his brother, including a previous stabbing in December 2003, when he stabbed his brother in the arm.
At Nottingham Crown Court, Quimby pleaded guilty to charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH), actual bodily harm (ABH), and making threats to kill.
He was sentenced to five years in prison for the attack.
Furthermore, he received an additional three-year extended license period, during which he will remain under supervision to monitor his behavior and prevent further violence.
These incidents highlight a troubling pattern of violent and predatory behavior by Jason Quimby, raising ongoing concerns about community safety and the effectiveness of intervention measures.
