Overview
- Ezekiel Lamar Jackson pleaded guilty and was sentenced under a negotiated plea to life with the possibility of parole followed by 40 years of probation.
- Prosecutors say Jackson attacked the woman after she arrived for an April 6, 2024 cleaning appointment and held her for roughly five hours while repeatedly sexually assaulting and threatening to kill her.
- Doctors found an orbital fracture and brain bleeds from severe head trauma and the victim required intensive care before giving a victim impact statement at sentencing.
- Police arrested Jackson after hospital staff reported the assault, and investigators recovered a screwdriver, bloody towels and cellphone data that prosecutors say indicate he specifically targeted a woman working alone.
- The court ordered restitution, a no-contact order, sex-offender registration, psychosexual and mental-health evaluations, and geographic restrictions during probation that limit Jackson’s presence in Georgia to specified areas.
