According to numerous outlets in the Virgin Islands, John Jackson is facing a minimum 15-year sentence in federal prison after being indicted on charges of sexual offenses against a minor.

On February 23, 2019, Jackson was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations for the production of child pornography stemming from a sexual offense against a 15-year old girl.[2]

On April 18, 2019, Jackson was issued a ten-count indictment, charging him with two counts of production of child pornography, three counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, one count of first-degree rape, and three counts of second-degree aggravated rape.[3][4]

At the PanAm Games in 2007 his first bout was against favourite Demetrius Andrade; Jackson was beaten 5:23. At the 2007 World Championships he again lost in the first round, this time to Aliasker Bashirov.

At the first Olympic qualifier in March 2008, however, he defeated Argentinian Diego Chaves and PanAm Champion Pedro Lima 19:10 to qualify. He lost to Cuban Carlos Banteaux, but this did not affect his qualification. In Beijing he upset Magomed Nurutdinov 4:2 but lost 0:10 to Kim Jung-Joo.

Jackson turned pro in 2009. His professional record is 21 wins, with 16 coming via the way of knockout, and 4 losses. He lost a controversial decision to Willie Nelson and lost on a 5th-round KO to Andy Lee.
