Tremaine Jackson was arrested on Sept. 10. According to court documents at the time, a “pattern of offenses and history of behavior” existed with Jackson before and after the alleged assault of a victim on December 15, 2018. 

The victim in that alleged assault accused Jackson in June of 2019, which launched the investigation into Jackson.

Jackson was placed on administrative leave the day the victim came forward. Jackson was eventually arrested in September on more than 60 counts including sexual abuse, kidnapping and fraud.
