He was due in court Wednesday for an for docket day and his jury trial was set to begin Monday. But Wednesday, his next court appearance was rescheduled for early January by Judge Nikolas Geeker.

He is now scheduled for a jury trial in early November.

Gibbs remains in the Escambia County Jail on $25,000 bond. If he makes bond, Gibbs was ordered to have no direct or indirect contact with the victim and to wear a GPS monitor.

A female told investigators under oath that Gibbs molested her in 2000 when she was four and five years old, according to Sgt. Ted Roy with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department. The victim told investigators that the molestation occurred in the Walnut Hill area.

The female made the allegations in May of this year, according to Roy.

The felony molestation charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
