Cindy Jacques, a 59-year-old woman from Hope Hull, Alabama, lied under oath in a federal court in an attempt to protect her son, Raymond David Jacques III, who was accused of assaulting a victim in a domestic disturbance in Tallassee, Alabama, on July 13, 2025. When law enforcement responded to the 911 call, Raymond Jacques was arrested, triggering federal probation-revocation proceedings. Cindy Jacques testified under oath on July 28, 2025, but evidence later revealed that she knowingly made false statements to try to get the charges against her son dismissed.
The case took a turn when a recorded conversation between Cindy Jacques and the victim on July 16, 2025, directly contradicted her sworn testimony. This led to her conviction for perjury, a felony offense that undermines the integrity of the justice system. As US Attorney Thomas Govan stated, ‘Those who deliberately lie in federal court to influence the outcome of a case must be held accountable.’
Cindy Jacques was sentenced to two years of probation, with special conditions that include serving four consecutive weekends in jail and five months of home detention with location monitoring at her own expense. Her son, Raymond Jacques, was previously sentenced to 48 months in prison and five years of supervised release for violating his supervised release terms.
The Tallassee Police Department and the US Probation Office for the Middle District of Alabama investigated the case, which highlights the importance of truthful testimony in federal court proceedings. The outcome of this case demonstrates the commitment to protecting the integrity of the justice system and holding those who commit perjury accountable for their actions.
