City Attorney Declines to File Charges Against RamsAlaric Jackson; Case Sent to Pre‑Filing Diversion

Prosecutors paused criminal prosecution while leaving the file open under a City Attorney Hearing, permitting the NFL to continue an independent conduct review.

Overview

  • Jackson was arrested after a late‑night dispute at his West Hills home on June 8, with police reporting the woman had scratch marks and a temporary restraining order filed shortly after.
  • The Los Angeles County district attorney declined to pursue felony charges and the City Attorney told reporters it will not file charges “at this time,” assigning the matter to a City Attorney Hearing as a pre‑filing diversion.
  • The alleged victim’s lawyer asked to dissolve the temporary restraining order in early July, and city officials said Jackson could be offered alternatives such as classes, restitution, or community service instead of misdemeanor prosecution.
  • The NFL is conducting its own independent review under the Personal Conduct Policy and can still discipline Jackson without a criminal conviction, a risk that carries roster and contract consequences for the Rams.
  • A City Attorney Hearing is a pre‑filing diversion that can resolve eligible cases through education or restitution rather than charges while keeping the file open for re‑evaluation within the statute of limitations.
