In 2019, the Offender Database reported that Josefino Quiboloy, then 37, originally of Exmouth, Devon, and later of Windham Drive, Oadby, Leicestershire, was sentenced to five years in prison. Following a trial at Exeter Crown Court, a jury found the former Domino’s Pizza manager guilty of sexual assault and assault by penetration against a 16-year-old girl.
The investigation established that Quiboloy invited the victim to his home in Exmouth, Devon, where he provided her with vodka while watching television. The prosecution reported that as the girl became intoxicated and asked to go home, Quiboloy gave her further alcohol. After the victim collapsed on a toilet floor and drifted in and out of consciousness, Quiboloy took advantage of her helpless state to carry out a sexual attack. The victim later recalled waking to find her clothing removed and the defendant on top of her.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Quiboloy used alcohol as a tool to facilitate the assault. Recorder Mr Jonathan Barnes noted that the defendant’s actions were a predatory breach of safety against a vulnerable teenager. During the trial, Quiboloy claimed he had only assisted the girl after finding her unwell and denied any sexual contact, but the jury rejected his version of events. The prosecution, led by Mr Joss Ticehurst, emphasised that the victim had been so incapacitated she was unable to consent or defend herself.
The judge noted that Quiboloy had continued to work in management roles, moving from Exmouth to Torquay, Devon, and eventually becoming an area manager in Leicestershire before his conviction. The prosecution emphasised that the victim’s bravery in disclosing the attack to her parents the following day was instrumental in bringing the manager to justice. For his crimes in Devon, the court determined that a significant custodial term and lifelong monitoring were required.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his crimes in England, Josefino Quiboloy was handed:
- Custodial Sentence: Five years in immediate custody.
- Sex Offenders Register: Notification requirements are in effect for life.
- Convictions: Found guilty of sexual assault and assault by penetration.
Monitoring and Public Protection
Quiboloy is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Devon and Cornwall Police, Leicestershire Police, and the prison estate. Due to the predatory nature of the assault and the use of intoxicants to facilitate the crime, his management is subject to high-level oversight by the Public Protection Unit.
As a lifetime member of the Sex Offenders Register, Quiboloy must comply with mandatory notification requirements regarding his future residence in Oadby, Leicestershire, or Exmouth, Devon. Authorities state that his history of exploiting a position of maturity to target a 16-year-old necessitates permanent oversight. Any breach of his registration conditions or his licence terms upon release will result in his immediate arrest and return to Exeter Crown Court.
