John L. Jackson was charged by prosecutors on Monday with two counts of first-degree sexual assault of an incompetent person for his involvement in the teen's pregnancies.
The teen's grandmother raised concerns about the suspicious pregnancies to the police in February. The girl, who is now 18 years old, gave birth last year and was discovered to be five months pregnant again. Lincoln Police Capt. Jake Dilsaver confirmed this in a sworn affidavit.
Investigators believe that Jackson was in a "secret" dating relationship with the teen in late 2021 and repeatedly had sex with her without her consent. On Friday, police arrested Jackson for his alleged involvement in the crime.
At his initial court appearance Monday, Judge Laurie Yardley set Jackson's percentage bond at $750,000.
