FARGO (KFGO) – A Ft. Totten, North Dakota man has been sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for drugging and sexually abusing three girls between nine and 15 years old.
U.S. Attorney Mac Schneider said Saunders Jackson, 23, pleaded guilty in October to Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Child and two counts of Sexual Abuse of a Minor.
Law enforcement began investigating Jackson for sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl in 2020. Investigators found two other girls had been sexually abused by Jackson. One was between nine- and 12-years-old at the time of the abuse. The other was 15.
Investigators also found that Jackson had given, or injected, the girls with methamphetamine.
After his sentence, Jackson will be on supervised release for 25 years.
