Somerset gardener banned from 'wriggling' in gimp suit

**Joe 90** · 04-11-2023, 01:02 AM

A gardener who "terrified" women in a Somerset village has been banned from writhing on the floor in an all-black bodysuit in public.

Joshua Hunt, 32, was found guilty last week of causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress to his victims.

He has now been handed a sexual harm risk order, which prevents him from wearing any type of mask unless for medical reasons.

The order will be in place for five years.

Last week's trial heard how Hunt, from Claverham, had scared two female motorists in May, while dressed in an all-black "gimp suit" in the village of Bleadon.

One victim said she initially thought she could be abducted, and was left "terrified" by the incident

Imposing the sexual harm risk order at Bristol Magistrates' Court earlier, District Judge Joanna Dickens said: "[The incidents] are clearly acts of a sexual nature with a sexual element to them."

"A sexual risk order is quite a serious order, and it has a lot of obligations of you and if you breach this order you can go to prison.

"I only make an order if I think it is necessary to protect the public from you and I do think it is necessary," she continued.

Among the restrictions imposed, Hunt is now banned from:

Being in possession of any type of mask or face covering in a public place, including whilst in a vehicle in a public place, between the hours of 21:00 and 06:00 unless officially required for medical purposes or by law.
Wearing or being in possession of black all-in-one garments in a public place, including in a vehicle in a public place between the hours of 21:00 and 06:00.
Crawling, wriggling or writhing on the ground in a public place whilst wearing a full-body covering, clothing that appears like a full body covering and/or mask/full face covering.

Restrictions have also been placed upon Hunt's computer use and access of the internet.

Peter Richardson, defending, said Hunt had taken a "pragmatic and practical approach" to the application for the sexual risk order.

"We are not contesting the application but that is not the same as agreeing with everything that is set out," he said.

Hunt will be on the sex offenders' register while his sexual harm risk order is in place.

After his conviction, Hunt was fined £100 and ordered to pay £200 compensation to each of his victims and £620 prosecution costs.

You can tell that there's something not quite right about this guy... in his 30s and no hint of a gut.

To be honest I don't really see the problem, live and let live, and all that.

This was big news down my way... Claverham is about 4 miles away from the village I grew up in and the guy I used to borrow the RAV4 from for my UK visits lived in Bleadon.

My old stomping ground.

**DrWilly** · 04-11-2023, 07:42 AM

So what are you telling us?

**Mendip** · 04-11-2023, 07:44 AM

That it wasn't me.

**DrWilly** · 04-11-2023, 08:00 AM

Guilty af!

**Mendip** · 04-11-2023, 08:10 AM

If I could fit into that gimp suit I'd happily own up to this!

Jesus, I can no longer unthink that thought.

It's Sunday best compared to some of the stuff Mendy and his canine entourage have been snapped in.

**DrWilly** · 04-11-2023, 08:58 AM

I wonder if he wears his wiking silk shorts underneath or goes starkers?

**Mendip** · 04-11-2023, 09:03 AM

Isaan is way too hot to wear a latex gimp suit...

I would imagine.

**DrWilly** · 04-11-2023, 09:15 AM

Depends how slippery you want to get...

I would imagine.

Local 'gimp man' says Somerset gimp gives the whole gimp community a 'bad rep'

The Gimp Man of Essex said he uses the power of fetish for good, not evil

A man known locally as 'the Gimp Man of Essex' has complained that the infamous Somerset Gimp is giving the "whole gimp community a bad reputation". Since 2018 a man dressed head-to-toe in a black latex gimp suit has terrorised sleepy villages in Somerset, but according to other gimps he does not represent the wider gimp community.

The Gimp Man of Essex, known widely in Colchester where he is often spotted doing his weekly supermarket shop wearing his suit, said he looks to use fetish for good by organising charity fundraisers. He told The I: "This guy has undone everything the gimp community is trying to do. It gives us all a bad rep.

"Jumping out on women, however you’re dressed, isn’t right. There are innocent guys like me who go out on walks in their gimp suits. This guy is hiding around in the dark at night and scaring people lifeless. That’s different. I wouldn’t be surprised if alcohol or drugs were involved. They are asking for trouble terrorising people like that late at night."

Bleadon Hell used to be a few fine pubs nearby the Blue Flame INn West End Nailsea where me mum croaked, teh Plume of Feathers next to the Barrow Gurney (I kid you not) funny farm, my pick thses days the Crown at Churchill, My neighbour once ran Butcombe Brewery a fine real ale similar to Tanglefoot , Pedigree of Hicks

When I was working for airline the nearest was called the Bung Inn which I used to schlepp to when snowed in .

As for the gimp I think many will find ther electric bill more shocking or when tropical diseases arrive from the Sarf.

As for our canine sponsor Mendy he Anna Fjord an Escort let alone troll the hags of Wraxall "The Battle Axes" alas the Porlock forlock mine head aches for some natch

^ The Plume of Feathers is in Rickford, close to Blagdon. It used to be a favourite many years ago because we could get served at 16, no problem.

But you're right about Barrow Gurney having a funny farm, although can you say that these days? Maybe mental home is more pc? Our French teacher at school, Mr Brown, had a nervous breakdown after which he was forever known as Barrow Brown.

The Bung Inn... another old favourite but not at all sure that it's still going.
