CASE: R v Jackson [2024] NSWCCA 156

WARNING: Disturbing content - sexual intercourse without consent

Glen William Jackson operated a farming business outside of Goulburn. He employed a young man, JM, who lived in a shed on the farm.

On 24 April 2021, JM's 19 year old sister visited him. That night, 62 year old Glen Jackson sexually assaulted JM's sister.

Glen Jackson was found guilty of four counts of sexual intercourse without consent and he was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison, with a non-parole period of 1 year and 10 months.

The Crown appealed against the sentence on the basis that it was manifestly inadequate.
