Oklahoma Man Sentenced To Over 40 Years In Federal Prison For Aggraveted Sexual Abuse Of A Minor

Fayetteville, Arkansas – Duane (DAK) Kees, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced that Brandon Jackson, age 32, of Proctor, Oklahoma, was sentenced today to 480 months in federal prison followed by twenty years of supervised release on one count of Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Minor. The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks presided over the sentencing hearing in the United States District Court in Fayetteville.

According to court records, in June of 2017, an 11-year old male living in Northwest Arkansas disclosed to his mother that JACKSON had been molesting him. The subsequent investigation determined that over an approximate three year period, Jackson transported the minor victim to and from his Oklahoma residence, where he would then force the minor to engage in sexual activity. In July of 2017, JACKSON was arrested in Washington County, Arkansas. During a post-Miranda statement, he admitted to sexually abusing the minor victim. JACKSON was indicted in July 2017 on federal charges and plead guilty in September 2017.

“This sentencing is an excellent example of how the combined efforts of federal and state partners is used to combat the heinous crimes committed against our children,” said Thomas M. Annello “HSI continues to work with our partner law enforcement agencies to take those who would harm our children off the streets.”

Annello is the Acting Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans field office of Homeland Security Investigations with responsibility for Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

This case was investigated by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the Arkansas State Police, the Northwest Arkansas Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, and the Department of Homeland Security.  Assistant United States Attorney Dustin Roberts prosecuted the case for the United States.
