According to numerous outlets in the Virgin Islands, John Jackson is facing a minimum 15-year sentence in federal prison after being indicted on charges of sexual offenses against a minor
.
A federal grand jury issued a ten-count indictment against John Jackson, 30, and the son of Hall of Famer Julian Jackson.

United States Attorney Gretchen Shappert announced that Jackson was charged with two counts of production of child pornography, three counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, one count of first-degree rape, and three counts of second-degree aggravated rape.

The indictment stems from Jackson allegedly engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old female minor, and then producing images of his sexual encounter.

Under federal law, Jackson faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of a $250,000 fine.

According to the Virgin Islands Consortium, the case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Virgin Islands Police Department, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Everard E. Potter.

Jackson (21-4, 16 KOs) has only been averaging one fight per year since 2016.

He was knocked out by Jermell Charlo in eight rounds, when they fought for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title in May of 2016.

He picked up a first round knockout in 2017 to bounce back, but then lost a five round unanimous decision to Eric Walker in April of 2018 as part of The Contender series. That was Jackson's last bout in the ring.

This was the guy who was ahead on the cards against Jermell.. then got knocked out.

Not good.

A federal Grand Jury today returned a ten count indictment against John Jackson, 30, of St. Thomas, charging him with two counts of production of child pornography, three counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, one count of rape first degree, and three counts of aggravated rape second degree, United States Attorney Gretchen Shappert announced.

The indictment stems from Jackson allegedly engaging in sexual activity and then producing images of his sexual encounter with a fifteen year old female minor. Under federal law, Jackson faces a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine.

John Jackson May Finally Head To Trial on Rape Charge

Former 2008 Olympian John Jackson, 31-years-old, has spent nearly two years in a Puerto Rican jail on charges of child pornography and rape.

Jackson has pleaded not guilty to 11 criminal charges - including first-degree rape, five counts of aggravated second-degree rape, two counts of production of child pornography and three counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.

According to Virgin Islands Daily News, Jackson is finally inching closer to a trial date.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Jackson's trial date has been delayed. It was recently pushed back to February 8th.

On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Molloy set a date of February 2 for the pre-trial conference.

Back in February of 2019, Jackson was arrested by V.I. Police after the father of a 15-year-old girl said Jackson gave his daughter alcohol and marijuana brownies and then raped her.

He was initially released on bond. Jackson was later arrested after investigators found a video he allegedly made of himself having sex with the victim - leading to a charge of federal child pornography.

Since then, Jackson has been charged with assaulting two other girls, who came forward with claims of their own.

Jackson (21-4, 16 KOs), who mostly competed at junior middleweight, has been out of the ring since April of 2018, when he lost a five round derision to Eric Walker as part of The Contender tournament.

In his three biggest fights - Jackson lost a ten round decision to Willie Nelson and suffered knockout losses at the hands of Andy Lee and Jermell Charlo. He was well ahead on points when getting stopped by Lee and Charlo.

He pleaded NOT GUILTY.. but He's screwed!

They've found a video..

How's he gonna explain that?
