BALTIMORE, MD.- On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Gary Hammond Jackson, III, 32, of Pasadena, Maryland, appeared in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and pleaded guilty to Sexual Exploitation of a Minor; and the Commission of a Felony Involving a Minor by a Registered Sex Offender.
Victims Ages 6 And 3
   According to documents filed with the court, in 2020 and 2022, Jackson sexually abused two young girls, then ages 6 and 3, and filed the abuse. In November 2020, Jackson sexually abused the first child, then 6 years old, and used his cell phone to produce three images of the abuse.
In addition to the sexual exploitation that occurred in November 2020, Jackson sexually assaulted the child at various times between January 2020 and December 2020. Based on that conduct at that time, Jackson was convicted of a fourth-degree Sex Offense and second-degree Assault in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Following his release, Jackson was required to register as a sex offender.
After being required to register as a sex offender, Jackson used his cell phone in November 2022 to photograph thirteen images of the second child’s genitals, then 3 years old.
In November 2022, investigators searched Jackson’s residence and found multiple electronic devices that contained over 1500 digital files of child pornography.
When sentenced, Jackson faces a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in federal prison for the charge of the Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and a mandatory 10 years in federal prison for the Commission of a Felony Involving a Minor by a Registered Sex Offender.
U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron reports this case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
