Sex, Band, & Videotape

Band volunteer raped girls, passed around to other boys, videotaped sex
Federal sentencing awaits, Hinds Indicts

A sexual predator rampaged through the Callaway High School band program until caught last year. 32 year-old Jerrell Jackson had sex with numerous girls in the Callaway band program.  One victim was only 14.    Jackson was a volunteer band director and a driver for Cline Bus Tours. His abuse of the girls included blindfolding and binding the girls, and passing them off to other males, some still in high school.  To commemorate his conquests, Jackson videotaped it all on his phone.  Jackson pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual battery and human trafficking last month in Madison County and is serving a prison sentence of 40 years.     

Jackson's crimes took place in Jackson and Ridgeland.   JJ obtained copies of the Ridgeland police reports through a public records request.  The reports are posted below. The names of all victims and their families are redacted. 

Jackson followed the same pattern in each rape.  The band volunteer selected his targets, the younger the better.  He offered to give them rides home from band practice and give them his number.  Some accepted.  Eventually he had sex with the victim.  He tied the victim's hands and blindfolded her.  Unknown to the girl, another male would have sex with her while Jackson quietly videotaped it all.  Jackson slept with each girl multiple times. 

One girl met Jackson when she began attending Callaway.  Jackson gave her his phone number and told her to text him if she ever needed a ride home from band practice.  He told her he was 27 and soon began putting the moves on her.  They first had sex in May 2017 on a Cline bus in Ridgeland (p.3).  She said they had sex "no more than 20 times at Cline Bus Tours."



A victim told Ridgeland police Jackson lived at Advantage Apartments (McWillie Circle, Jackson).  They had sex multiple times.  She said Jackson was "into bondage."  He tied her hands and blindfolded her during sex.  When he was finished, he said he had to get something out of his car.  The "something" was actually a "someone" in the form of another man. The new man had sex with the bound teen while Jackson videotaped it all.   They had sex from September 2017 until February 2018 when she ended the relationship.  He retaliated by trying to kick her off the drum line a few months later.

Jackson's sexcapades were not exactly a secret in the Callaway band because other band members told the victim Jackson liked to record the girls with whom he had sex.

Unfortunately, the victim was not the first one to tell a parent about the bus driver.  Jackson made a pass at another female band member on a trip to Atlanta.  The girl said no and told a friend.  The friend told her mom.  Mom was no dummy and figured some of it out.  She called the victim and asked if anything ever happened between her and Jackson.  The girl broke down and told the mother everything.  Mom told the victim's mom.  The parents notified JPD, who in turn assigned an investigator.  JPS arrested him on May 23, 2019.   JPS contacted Ridgeland police. The mother signed charges against Jackson in Ridgeland.  One can only imagine the horror these parents felt when they realized what happened to their daughters. 

Unfortunately, the story does not end with this victim.  A search of Jackson's apartment yielded an SD card with pictures and 40 videos of Jackson and other men having sex with girls in the Callaway band program.  The videos were recorded at both his apartment and Cline Bus Tours in Ridgeland.  

A second victim met Jackson on Instagram when she was in 8th grade.  They began texting.  She rode with him to a band event at JSU during the summer of her 8th grade year. He took the 14 year old to his apartment.  She was hesitant but they eventually had sex.  He told her he was 28 years old when he was really 32 years old.  The sexual relationship lasted from that summer until March 2019.  He would take her to various places and have sex with her.  He tied her hands and blindfolded her as well.  Unknown men had sex with her while he videotaped the illegal copulation.  She said they had sex more than thirty times.  She recognized one male in a picture as a Callaway student.

Another victim met Jackson when she was a freshman.  They began talking and he eventually took her home after band practice.  He paid for half of a band trip to Atlanta for her since her mother could not afford it.  They began having sex during her sophomore year.  She was tied up and blindfolded as well.  Jackson videotaped their sexual encounters.  He asked her to engage in a threesome with another female but she declined.

Jackson raped a fourth student, following the same pattern.  He gave a female band member a ride home.  They got to know each other.  They had sex.  More  bondage and voyeurism took place.  Jackson secretly had another male have sex with her while he recorded.  She later recognized the male as a student at Jim Hill High School.  The episode really upset her and she broke things off with Jackson.  Jackson again retaliated by trashing her to the rest of the band.

The Ridgeland investigator met with the Callaway principal and band director.   Band Director Curtis Luckett, Jr. (p.14) said he had no knowledge of Jackson's rape of the students.



Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of human trafficking and three counts of sexual battery.  Circuit Judge John Emfinger sentenced him to serve 20 years in prison for each count but suspended 10 years.  However, Jackson will not be coming home in 2030 because the learned Judge ordered him to serve each sentence consecutively.

While Madison County completed its prosecution of Jackson, the Hinds County version just began.  The Hinds County grand jury indicted Jackson on July 10 for 22 counts of sexual battery and exploitation of a child. The indictment names  2 victims: A.R. and T.S.

The indictments repeat what is in the Ridgeland police reports. Jackson allegedly had sex repeatedly with the two girls at his apartment.  He repeatedly filmed and recorded each victim having sex with him as well as other males.

Count XVIII: Jackson recorded A.R. having sex with B.W.  The male was under 18.
Count XIX: Jackson recorded T.S. having sex with B.W.
Count XX:  Jackson recorded T.S. having sex with  A.T.  The male was 21.
Count XXI:  Jackson recorded A.R. having sex with A.T.
Count XXII: Jackson recorded A.R. having sex with K.W.  He was 21.
Count XXIII: Jackson recorded T.S. having sex with K.W.

The case is assigned to Hinds County Circuit Judge Adrienne Wooten.

While Hinds and Madison take turns prosecuting Jackson, the feds are about to drop the hammer on the child molester.   A federal grand jury indicted him on November 6, 2019 for ten counts of of sexual exploitation of children. The indictment identifies three victims.   Jackson submitted notice of intent to plead guilty on March 3, 2020.  However, Covid-19 intervened.  U.S. District Judge Dan Jordan, III is holding hearings only when the defendant is free on bond.  Such does not apply to Jackson as he was denied bail.  He must wait to submit his guilty plea and receive sentencing.


* A.R., T.S., A.C.

Throw away the key. This man should never see the light of day. Callaway should be held accountable!

Anonymous said...

Actually, a bullet to his head would be a much more appropriate penalty for what he did to those girls. We are way too lenient of a society when it comes to sex crimes against minors.

Anonymous said...

There has to be some accountability required of Callaway High School, the band director, and of course the other "men" involved. This was not an isolated incident or a few incidents. This was a sex exploitation business operating out of a high school. Parents allowing their children to participate in an extra-curricular activity and to go on band trips under "adult" supervision should expect more. Heads should roll.

Just can't understand how so many knew what was going on but no one did anything??? If something needs a protest reflecting community outrage, this is it.

While this guy and his buddies deserve to burn in hell, there is much more to this story than what we have been provided. He had sex with the girls multiple times??? Really. Why? If this guy was not identified after the first rape, something is really wrong here in the lives of these girls. Authorities need to be checking out what is going on in the homes of these children.

Cut off his nuts and then a .357 to the head after he has suffered for a day or two. He didn't SLEEP WITH THEM, he vaginally raped them. Don't sugar coat it!

If any of you are involved in an organization that has strict safe sanctuary rules you know just being alone with a kid should not happen. Adults just don't get isolated with kids without there being a colossal breakdown. It can happen accidentally but in this case he is not the only one that should be held accountable. Somewhere someone failed to protect those kids.

JPS and CLINE will have to cough up big time $$$$! Sad case for the victims.

@12:32, torture and murder are both very serious and have no place in modern society. You should not speak so lightly of that evil. Get professional help.

Didn't the Callaway principL resign earlier this year, supposedly for various improprieties involving her son, who brought brass knuckles to school so he could beat up other students? Wasn't this the same principal who was kicked out of a national honor society for educators because of her failures in the Jackson Public School system? Great job, Dr. Greene. I recall The Cipher Voice reporting on all of this.

First, this is terrible.

Second, the boys who were shown the pictures and videos did not report what was going on to the director or principal is an indictment of them as people. Absolutely disgusting to stand by and watch a grown ass man take advantage of these young girls.

I graduated from Callaway High School 41 years ago. At the time CHS was a leader in the state in academics, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and especially contact between blacks and whites. I am ashamed to see how far my alma mater has fallen into being another social dump with no standards. I now will have to disassociate from the Charger Nation.

Remember this the next time you consider talking about “welfare mothers.” Women get the task of rearing the children but few men face the responsibilities for their actions in the way this guy is.

Use a rusty full knife to remove the penis and scrotum. These young ladies did not deserve this. If I knew that someone did this one of my children, his arse would be put behind a truck and drug on a gravel road for 10 miles. And that still isn’t payback for what he and they did. No man has the right to violate a woman. Her body is hers. I’m 55, white and pissed about this! This is not about anything but what is right and what is wrong. These poor young ladies need help. God will deal with the scum but the young ladies and families need help

1:11 is right. Someone needs professional help and it is him. He rushes to protect the pervert, with nary a word for the victims.
Castration should be mandatory. There is video evidence, there is word of the victims. Mistaken identity isn't an option.

Did I miss this story in the local media? I don't recall seeing it in the Clarion-Liar, WAPT WLBT, or WAPT. This community should be outraged if the news media or JPS covered it up.

Kingfish said...

No. They just ran with the D.A.'s press release last month and didn't do any follow up or ask any questions. The Hinds indictments gave a preview of what the real story was so I asked for the police reports since the case was now fully adjudicated.

The former Callaway principal's son was in the band. The son that allegedly beat up another kid with brass knuckles and got away with it. Another rumor is that her nephew signed with MS State, but had to go JUCO last minute, because it was found that someone was altering his grades. He is now at MS State. Wish the Pirate would send him out on the plank.

Of course it is right that he be locked away. But all the outrage is a little over the top. The culture most of these girls come from is sexually promiscuous. I doubt any of them were virgins.

Anonymous said...

4:58 you have to understand that these are children. I also question the repeated encounters, but it reverts back to the adult having the greater responsibility. The adult is obviously not fit to be within society.

It brings another level of sickness to the crimes that he invited accomplices, who have likely expanded this activity.

There are some instances where I believe that minors act in the capacity of an adult, although they still lack adult level critical depths of thinking. This is not one of them.

What the fuck do you care? He was 32, they were 14.

There is a special place in hell for this guy! JPS and Cline Tours may as well prepare settlement offers now. The fact that this lasted long enough for there to be several victims is extremely sad. There is no damned way an adult coach/sponsor should be alone with kids for this very reason. These kinds of losers make it tougher for people that truly want to help teach and mentor children.

I am not death penalty proponent, but situations like this make me amenable to it.

4:58- STFU

Hopefully this guy gets killed by other inmates who have children. Hope they rape him first. POS

Duuuuude.... the fact that you've pinned your explicit fantasies to this story, is NEARLY as disturbing as the story, itself. One reason why our nation's Founding Fathers outlawed "Cruel & Unusual Punishments", was to stop sick pucks from deriving sadistic pleasures from scenarios similar to yours. PUNISHMENT AS ENTERTAINMENT, frequently leads to framing of innocents (among other abuses), so that certain types can get their jollies.

As it is, the Perp in this story, is headed for what amounts to HELL. Exactly how much "force" was involved in his crimes, is arguable. What he did was monstrous, though, and he will probably die in a living Hell, for what he did. His dying-in-HELL, is more-than enough. You don't need to dream-up anything else. There is no need to make the world a place even more ugly and cruel than it already is, by using sexual crimes as excuses for sexual sadism.

Yes, they were 14 and up. 14 and up sluts apparently. A 14 year old is old enough to know better. People referring to them in these comments as "young ladies" are being silly. Before this guy screwed them they were probably screwing boys closer to their own age. My point is I seriously doubt their chastity was violated. He got away with it so long because it was consensual, though of course sounds like most were under the age of consent, which is an arbitrary number, as evidenced by different ages in different states. Didn't Alabama's used to be 14?

The guy is a predator and I fully support locking him up. But it's not like he was raping pre-pubescent children. Statutory rape and actual rape are two completely different things on a moral level. Rape should carry the death penalty. Statutory rape ought to carry a horsewhipping penalty.

It used to be common for adult men to marry teenage girls. I have known old couples who fit this category. My point is, I fail to see why so many ger so morally indignant about teenagers having sex with a legal adult vs with other teenagers. The pregnancies and STDs happen either way. Horsewhipping the adult, yes. Cut his genatalia off, no.

Anonymous said...

5:19. Just because something was common 50 years ago doesn't make it OK. segregated water fountains? that was also common.

get the identities of all the men involved and put them in general population in parchman and make sure all the current inmates know why they are there...and look the other way....

Anonymous said...

10:16 - by the same token, just because modern society has decided something done 50 years ago is wrong now, doesn't necessarily mean that it is wrong. Society has allowed young adults to remain children to such an extended age that teenagers are looked upon as babies, when in fact a teenager, if raised in the proper context, can essentially function as an adult. I know a middle aged couple who married at 16. Still successfully married. I knew an elderly couple in the early 80s who were separated in age by about a decade. By today's standards, their marriage wouldn't have been legal. He would have been labeled a sexual predator. Yet he was a pillar of the community. Of course, he wasn't going around screwing every young teenage girl he could find either. This dude in this story, as I said before, needs a good horsewhipping.

Please stop saying "had sex with." The only word to use is he "raped" them.

Agree totally with 10/8 at 7:48. He is a rapist and worse than that a pedophile rapist and required video tapes + restraints + blindfolds. How awful for these girls and for their future. I wonder if their relationships in the future can ever be as they should be. This rapist stole so much of their young lives and can never make it right. Do other prisoners still hate perverts? In this case I almost hope so.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
