Ex-Guardsman sentenced in child case

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A federal judge has sentenced a former National Guardsman to 10 years in prison for child sexual exploitation.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales announced Tuesday that 44-year-old Jeffrey Neal Jackson was sentenced following his guilty plea in April to a two-count indictment charging him with coercion and enticement of a minor.

Authorities say Jackson was a National Guard military recruiter and stationed in Lubbock, Texas, when he was arrested in November.

Prosecutors say Jackson admitted to that he responded to a Craigslist ad from a girl he thought was 15 years old but was really an undercover officer with the Curry County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities say Jackson then traveled from Texas to Curry County, N.M., to have sex with the person he believed was a teen.
