Overview of FetLife Incident Involving Jefferson County Deputy
A Jefferson County Sheriff's Office deputy, William J. Jackson Sr., was dismissed on March 14 following an internal investigation. The investigation revealed that Jackson had posted sexually explicit photos on FetLife , a prominent social network for the BDSM, kink, and fetish community.
Investigation Details and Findings
The Sheriff's Office initiated the investigation after receiving initial reports about the inappropriate content on January 15. The content included images of Deputy Jackson engaging in various sexual activities, with some photos featuring him in his uniform. The inquiry further linked these photographs to advertisements for an adult massage business that Jackson purportedly intended to launch. Yet, he had not requested approval for this secondary employment, a violation of the Sheriff's Office's policies.
Action Taken by Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
According to Carl Yates, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, the quick action to terminate Deputy Jackson was deemed appropriate under the circumstances. "I think we took appropriate action quickly," Yates remarked, underscoring their commitment to maintaining standards within the force. Jackson, who had been with the Sheriff's Office since August 2021, has chosen not to appeal the decision. Further attempts to contact Jackson for comments have been unsuccessful.
