US man held 14-year-old teenager captive for months as a “sex slave”

According to court reports, Cody Lee Jackson held a 14-year-old girl captive for two months and repeatedly raped her while wearing an electronic ankle bracelet for a previous kidnapping.

Using social media, he convinced the victim to take a taxi to his home, where he held her captive for months and repeatedly raped her, resulting in a pregnancy, court documents show.

Jackson, 20, of Ohio, was arrested in January in connection with a 2014 kidnapping case. He was accused of holding two women against their will in a hotel.

However, in February, while wearing his ankle bracelet, he contacted a 14-year-old from Utah via Facebook, police believe.

Sheriff’s spokesman Michael Robison confirmed Thursday that Jackson wore the monitoring device from Jan. 22 to July 31 of this year.

“We made our usual unplanned and unannounced home visits,” Robison said. “He was required to report weekly to his assigned officer, which he did, and he met all other conditions” of his monitoring.

Jackson, 20, fled the state without the girl after pleading guilty to a charge of preventing custody in the kidnapping case; charges of kidnapping and abduction were dropped, state court records show.

He was arrested in Utah last week when he gave a false name to drug enforcement agents during a routine stop at a bus stop, according to Salt Lake City jail documents.

He is scheduled to be returned to Ohio to face sentencing for public disorderly conduct and numerous federal and state charges related to his alleged crimes while on electronic surveillance.

Jackson now faces federal charges of coercing and seducing minors to engage in illegal sexual acts and producing child pornography.

The charges were filed Wednesday in federal court in Cincinnati. He also faces state charges including rape, kidnapping, sexual abuse of a minor and interference with child custody.

With the help of the landlord, the girl returned to her family, federal documents say.
