Sex Trafficker Sentenced To Life Without Parole Plus 75 Years

In the summer of 2017, Jackson met a 33-year-old woman on social media and began to have an online relationship with her. The woman believed she was in a serious romantic relationship with Jackson, and the two communicated frequently via text and social media. On September 9, 2017, Jackson invited the woman to visit him in Atlanta. The woman agreed and traveled to Atlanta via bus.
