A 35-year-old Waukesha man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking and conspiracy.
Cornelius M. Jackson of Waukesha, Wisconsin, was convicted of four counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
On April 23, 2024, Jackson was sentenced by United States District Judge Brett Ludwig, who emphasized the ‘hard to overstate the seriousness’ of Jackson’s conduct.
Judge Ludwig described how Jackson had ‘manipulated, used violence, and coerced many young women to sell their bodies for the sexual gratification of others’ over a period of six years.
‘The sentence imposed in this case reflects the pervasive and relentless harm Mr. Jackson inflicted on his victims,’ said U.S. Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, with the assistance of the Waukesha Police Department, the Milwaukee Police Department, the Oneida Police Department, and the Ashwaubenon Public Safety Department.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Erica J. Lounsberry and Abbey M. Marzick.
Sex trafficking is a heinous crime that has no place in our society. The sentence imposed on Cornelius M. Jackson is a reflection of the seriousness of his crimes and the harm he caused to his victims.
The FBI and our local and state law enforcement partners will continue to work tirelessly to prevent these crimes and bring those responsible to justice.
We would like to thank the many criminal justice professionals who worked together to secure this sentence and ensure that the public will be protected from the defendant for a long time.
