A 31-year-old man faces charges of armed sexual battery, kidnapping, and attempted murder after a series of violent attacks at a Point Meadows apartment complex. Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested Brett Pincomb, but they now fear he may have targeted other women over the course of several months.
The investigation began on May 15, 2026, when authorities received a report that a woman had been assaulted inside an elevator at the apartment complex. While officers were at the scene investigating the initial incident, Pincomb allegedly attacked a second woman with a knife.
Detectives state that their investigation uncovered a pattern of escalating violence. According to police, Pincomb armed himself and sexually battered multiple women over a span of several months.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is now actively searching for any other individuals who may have been targeted by Pincomb. Police are asking potential victims to contact their Special Assault Unit directly.

“But our fight for justice isn’t over,” the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “We believe he may have victimized other women, and we want to bring them justice too.”
Authorities emphasized that they want to hear from anyone who had a violent encounter with the suspect, regardless of the circumstances.
“Our detectives are here, and we want to help,” the agency stated. “No matter the context of the meeting, if Pincomb attempted to commit or committed a violent crime, we want to bring you justice.”
Anyone with information or who believes they were assaulted by Pincomb is urged to call the Special Assault Unit directly at 904-630-2168.
