CINCINNATI— Cody Lee Jackson, 20, most recently of Norwood, Ohio, was charged by criminal complaint with coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity and production of child pornography. Jackson was arrested last week in Utah.
According to court documents, investigators were contacted with the information that two females, including a minor, had previously been held against their will by Jackson, in Blue Ash, Ohio.
While on electronic monitoring for charges in that case, Jackson allegedly met the 14-year-old victim in the instant case, through Facebook.
Jackson was allegedly arranging for a taxi to deliver the girl to his home after school each day and was having sexual intercourse with her on multiple occasions.
The alleged teen victim learned she was pregnant with Jackson’s child after more than a month under his control, according to Fox31.
“After Jackson found out [she] was pregnant, he was nicer to her … even buying her a giant stuffed animal and gifts from Bath and Body Works, and allowing her to take prenatal vitamins, but eventually he started yelling at her and smacking her again,” the affidavit said.
The rapes and abuse continued while the girl was pregnant.
Over time, Jackson allegedly became more controlling and would not let the victim leave his residence. He established various rules and punishments which included physical abuse.
After pleading guilty on July 31, 2015 to state charges of interference with custody, abduction and kidnapping, Jackson fled to other states including South Carolina and Texas.
During that time, he allegedly threatened to kill the minor victim’s family if she did not send him sexually explicit photographs via Facebook.
Jackson is also facing charges of rape, kidnapping, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and interference with custody.
