But Webster continued to deny any knowledge of the incident, claiming he had suffered some kind of catatonic moment as a result of drinking a dietary supplement mixed with grapefruit after taking his heart medication. Quin imposed the six-year sentence for Webster’s conviction for gross indecency, which formed the centre of the evidence against him at trial, after his young victim videoed the community leader masturbating in his car when she was present and asking her to spit on his penis.
If Webster is released before he has served the full six years, he will be released on licence, but once the full term is completed, there will be no lawful way to supervise Webster or protect vulnerable young girls from him, despite his prominent position in the community, where he is still seen by several church leaders and community members as a man of integrity and exemplary character, as set out in references given to the court. Justice Quin explained that the law does not provide for a retrospective application and that he did not have the legal power to impose such an order. This was against Ronnie Ebanks for his sexual offence, which had also been committed before the law changed, but no argument had been made on his behalf during his sentencing by Justice Marva McDonald-Bishop. The legislation provides for such orders to ensure sexual offenders who are released from jail continue to be monitored by the authorities to keep them away from potential victims. Webster has, however, avoided the imposition of a sexual harm prevention order because Justice Quin found it could not be applied retrospectively. “What is deeply unattractive is he blames everyone except himself for these guilty verdicts,” the judge said. Justice Charles Quin described Webster’s offences as “grave” and that his responsibility for the crimes was “very high”, even though Webster refuses to accept his conviction.
