4 Jackson Brothers Plead Guilty To Sexually Abusing Sister
\
“You’ll go to Hell if you tell anyone,” her older brothers would warn. Sometimes they would also threaten to kill her. The sexual assaults began when the now-17-year-old girl was four, escalated into incest and rape at some point, and continued for a decade. After each assault, they would ask for her forgiveness.
On Thursday, four of the six brothers plead guilty at the Perquimans County Courtin North Carolina, according to WTKR. The charges against the six Jackson brothers are different for each one, and include statutory rape, rape of a child less than six years old, first degree sex offense, and incest.
Alas, the four Jackson brothers got away with pleading guilty to lesser sexual offenses. According to WTKR:
Eric [age 27] and Matthew [23] were both sentenced to serve between 144 and 182 months in jail. Benjamin was sentenced to serve 24 months in jail.
Nathaniel Jackson [21] pleaded no contest as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to serve 24 months in jail.
Jon Jackson [25] is expected to take a plea deal but could not enter a plea due to a conflict with the judge. His case has been continued for the time being.
WHERE WERE THE JACKSON SIBLING’S PARENTS?
And where were these siblings parents while this was going on? WAVY reports John and Nita Jackson knew what was happening and did nothing to stop it. In fact, they grabbed the kids and high-tailed it to Colorado when they got wind of the investigation. Luckily, the authorities caught up with the Jackson family and were able to get the girl talk with them. She currently lives with relatives. According to WAVY:
Their parents, John and Nita Jackson, are also facing child neglect, child abuse, and accessory to sexual abuse charges related to this case. They appeared in court for a bond hearing — a judged decided to keep them in custody. Nita and John Jackson will be back in court in August.
The Jackson familykept to themselves and had very little contact with the outside world. They lived in an isolated mini-compound behind a tall fence and home schooled the kids. Even if the terrified Jackson Girl had managed to muster up the courage to ask for help, her opportunities to see it would have been extremely limited.
