A Kentucky man will spend the rest of his life in prison after Dallas police linked him to a sexual assault case that went cold for more than 15 years, the Dallas County District Attorney’s office announced.In 2005, Jackson befriended a 23-year-old homeless woman who was among evacuees from Hurricane Katrina.
The woman ran to Dallas Police Department headquarters afterward and was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital for an exam. Her sexual assault kit wasn’t tested until 2020, however; a recent state audit found that DPDThe DNA on the woman’s kit matched Jackson, who had two years left on a prison sentence in Kentucky after being convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in 2008.
“The defendant is counting on you not to care about a homeless woman being raped. I am counting on you to tell the Defendant, and to tell everyone, that in Dallas County, we will do whatever it takes to bring justice for victims of sexual assault, no matter who they are,” he said. “We will do this, even if it takes 6,095 days.”.
