Perquimans County Sheriff's Office Eric Jackson, 27, went to North Carolina authorities and confessed to a decade of abusing a child with his five brothers, authorities said.

Six grown brothers and their parents have been arrested in North Carolina and charged with multiple counts of sexually abusing a child over a 10-year period.

The arrests came more than a year after the eldest brother came forward and confessed at the urging of his church elder.

“He sinned seriously. It was an evil that needed to be exposed,” Dan Horn of Hope Baptist Church in Wake Forest, N.C., told the Virginia Pilot.

Eric Jackson, 27, the man who had confessed, and his five brothers — Jon, 25, Matthew, 23, Nathaniel, 21, Benjamin, 19, and Aaron, 18 — were arrested last week after they surrendered to Perquimans County Sheriff's deputies on charges they molested and raped a girl from the time she was 4 until she was about 14, Sheriff Eric Tilley told the newspaper.

North Carolina authorities said Nita Jackson, 54, and John Jackson, 65, knew their sons were sexually abusing a little girl for 10 years but did nothing about it. Both are charged with felony child abuse.


The girl is now 16 and living in Colorado Springs.

The multiple charges range from statutory rape to rape and sexual assault.

The men's parents, John Jackson, 65, and Nita Jackson, 54, were charged with felony child abuse for allegedly knowing of the sex crimes and doing nothing about it.

Aaron Jackson, 18, was arrested last week and charged with crimes related to rape of a child.

The brothers were home-schooled along with the girl, authorities said. Some of the men appeared to have below-average intelligence levels and one could barely write his name, WVEC-TV reported.

Deputies tried to question the girl and her parents after Eric Jackson confessed to the abuse, but the girl's parents would not allow her to speak to investigators, Perquimans County Sheriff Eric Tilley told the station.

They, and most of the Jackson family, moved to Colorado after the investigation became public.



Earlier this year, deputies flew to Colorado and spent eight hours questioning the girl. Indictments were issued in April. The Jacksons surrendered in North Carolina last week rather than face extradition hearings.

After posting $15,000 bonds, the parents returned to Colorado, Tilley said.

The brothers remain in custody at Albermarle District Jail, in lieu of bail up to $150,000 each.

"The only thing that can come out of this — good — is that, you know, this young lady gets some kind of closure, and, hopefully, she's strong enough … to put it behind her and go on with her life," Tilley said, according to the station

What a low life judge to let the parents out on such low bail.  Their bail should be higher than all the others combined.  These disgusting rapes are their doing. 

The men grew up thinking it was OK to rape her because that's what their parents taught them.  I'm outraged at the 10 years of rapes and the pampered treatment of the evil parents.

Everytime I think I've heard it all I get slammed with more evil that I never could have envisioned.
