Child Rapist Gets 40 Years

The Justice Department issued the following statement. 

A Jackson man was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for production of child pornography involving minors he met through volunteering with various Jackson Public School bands, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca and Special Agent in Charge Jermicha Fomby of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Mississippi.

According to court documents, Jerrell Lea’Shun Jackson, 34, used his association with the Jackson State University Sonic Boom to entice unsuspecting minors to his apartment and the bus barn for sexually explicit conduct and filming.  Jackson preyed on the most vulnerable children by fixing their band instruments, giving them a ride home after band practices and buying them food.

Jackson pled guilty on June 14, 2021 to production of child pornography.

The case was investigated by the Jackson Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office and the Jackson Public School Campus Enforcement. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenda R. Haynes prosecuted the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Kingfish note: JJ reported a year ago:

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 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.... Earlier post and police reports.

Hopefully the full 40 will be imposed. Sadly our society is saturated with perv's such as this. Sure would be sweet if some of the victim's dad's were allowed to serve true justice.

6:14 - Please allow me to restructure your ending sentence: "Sure would be sweet if some of the victims' dad's had been involved in their lives at some time following their birth".

8:05 - Newsflash! College 'schoolers' are children. Obviously you have none.

When we sentenced someone to 40 in federal court, assume they can serve 85%. Seems long sentences to protect children need balanced against the government injecting the creep. When (if) he is released while be a creepy old man.

In what twisted mind is it "cruel and unusual punishment" to castrate someone like this?
Castrate him on his way into the prison for his 40 year stay.

So we get to feed, house, give medical care, etc., to the tune of $75,000 annually for 40 years for this turd. $1.00 for a .44 of the head would be a lot cheaper and easier. Use the savings to fund the schools.

5:30 - But, he'll be flaccid.

40 years ? Wow. Pervs usually get 10 suspended and a new place to prowl. Good job judge.

Alnost impossible this perv will not be locked up without one of these girls kin knowing about it. A few months of forced r@pe ending with a tooth brush gutting seems ok . So, this one won't cost the taxpayers much.

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.
