Reston Man Sentenced To Prison For Sexually Exploiting 3 Minor Girls

ALEXANDRIA, VA — A Reston man has been sentenced to 19 years in prison for sexually exploiting three minors he met online, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia announced.

Xavier Dejuan Jackson, 28, was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty in November to sexual exploitation of a child, transportation of minors, and attempted coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illicit sexual activity.

According to court documents, Jackson met his first victim on social media in January 2024. Upon meeting, the victim revealed to Jackson she was 17 years old and attended high school.

On numerous occasions, Jackson repeatedly traveled to Maryland to pick up the victim, crossing state lines when he returned to his apartment in Reston. At his apartment, prosecutors said Jackson engaged in sexual activity with the victim and recorded it on his cell phone. He then sent the videos to the victim via Snapchat.

In February 2024, Jackson began communicating with a second victim on Instagram. On March 1, the victim informed Jackson she was 14 years old.

After the girl revealed her age, prosecutors said Jackson resumed sexually explicit conversations with her and asked her to send him explicit videos. Jackson received the videos via Snapchat, where he stored them in a folder under the victim's name.

The next day, Jackson asked the girl to meet him in person for sex. Over the next several days, the two discussed potential opportunities and continued to exchange sexually explicit messages and photos. They also discussed locations where Jackson could pick up the girl, including at her high school or a mall near her parent's house.

On June 23, the second victim asked Jackson when he would be available to meet for sexual activity. He told the girl it would be over a week because he would be out of the country.

Finally, in February 2024, Jackson initiated contact on Snapchat with a person he believed was 15 years old. In March, Jackson asked how much the person would charge for nude videos of herself and sent a detailed request describing what type of sexually explicit content he wanted.

According to court documents, Jackson sent her $45 via PayPal. He later received and saved on his cell phone videos depicting his requests.

Jackson was arrested in July upon returning to the country on a flight into Dulles International Airport. Customs and Border Protection Officers inspected Jackson’s devices and discovered several videos and images that appeared to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
