Third Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms John Jackson’s Convictions
A panel of Third Circuit Court of Appeals judges has upheld John Jackson’s rape and child pornography convictions, rejecting his argument that evidence presented at his trial should have been suppressed because the warrant to obtain it was not properly executed, among other claims.

Jackson, 35, was found guilty at his jury trial in April 2022 and sentenced in February 2023 to 25 years in prison for producing child pornography, transporting minors for the purpose of committing sex crimes, and first- and second-degree rape. He also must register as a sex offender when he completes his prison term.
He appealed his convictions to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in November, arguing that the warrant was defective; authorities violated his Fourth Amendment rights during its execution; that he did not transport minors for the sole purpose of having sex; and that one sex video does not constitute child pornography.
