COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - United States Attorney Marc Krickbaum
announced on August 20, 2019, Terrance Terrell Jackson, Sr., age 40, was
sentenced to seven years in prison to be followed by seven years of supervised
release for sex trafficking involving force. United States District Court Judge
Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger sentenced Jackson.
The conviction was the result of an investigation conducted
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation Task Force. On May
11, 2018, an undercover law enforcement officer responded to an advertisement on
an internet website offering sexual services from a person identified as
“Savannah.” A meeting was arranged between “Savannah” and the undercover
officer at a hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska. “Savannah” arrived at the agreed to
location and was arrested by law enforcement.
Law enforcement determined Jackson had placed the ad that
offered the services of “Savannah” and had driven her to Lincoln, Nebraska to
meet the undercover officer. Investigation revealed Jackson had been offering
the services of “Savannah” by placing ads on internet web sites beginning in
late 2017. When a date was arranged, Jackson transported “Savannah” to the
agreed to location, including locations in Omaha, Nebraska and Council Bluffs,
Iowa for acts of prostitution. The investigation determined Jackson had
physically assaulted “Savannah” to ensure she would participate in acts of
prostitution, having injured her seriously enough to have her hospitalized on
several occasions.
The investigation was done by the FBI’s Child Exploitation
Task Force; Lincoln, Nebraska, Police Department; Omaha, Nebraska, Police
Department; and the Council Bluffs, Iowa, Police Department. The case was
prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of
Iowa.
