"John Corey Jackson is charged with 11 counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Jackson was named Dillon's mayor-elect after beating the city's current mayor in a runoff election this April, according to WBTW.

Beginning in June of 2017, and occurring as recently as last month, Jackson is accused of asking teenage boys for nude photos over Snapchat in exchange for money.

The teen victims ranged in age from 15 to 17, and were offered anywhere from $100 to $1,000 for the photos. Those payments were either given in person, through a business mailbox or using the "Cash App.""

Probably the fact that he's 24, horny and immature LOL - kids these days!
(But not mine bc I taught them better)
Parenting has changed so much since the 80's. Like, parents let school, childcare providers and the TV do it, and now we get these morons. Elected to be Mayor no less. SMH.

He had a lot of nerve to run for public office with this going on. You should know your opponent(s) will scrutinize your life with a microscope.

Hire a 24-year old to run your city & you get what you ask for. Not saying all 24-year-olds are pedophiles or sexual predators but what do you truly expect from a 24-year-old?

Former City of Dillon Mayor John Corey Jackson was arrested Wednesday, May 22, 2024 on charges for probation violation.

Jackson entered a plea in August, 2023 during a hearing for communicating obscene messages to another person without consent and forgery. Jackson was sentenced to three years, suspended to probation. He had to register as a sex offender on a tier one status and was to have no contact with the victims.

Former City of Dillon Mayor Arrested – The Dillon Herald

Aug 28, 2023

Former Dillon Mayor John Corey Jackson, who was suspended shortly after being sworn in in 2019, pleaded guilty Monday morning and was sentenced in two separate cases.

Jackson, 28, was given a three-year suspended prison sentence and placed on probation for five years after pleading guilty to three counts of communicating obscene messages for incidents involving multiple teenage boys between June 2017 and April 2019. He had been charged with nearly a dozen counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Jackson was also given three years of suspended probation after pleading guilty to two counts of forgery. He was arrested in April by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and accused of submitting multiple pre-approval applications to the Dillon Historic Preservation Committee for $50,000 grants being offered to help local businesses with property repairs that contained forged contractor quotes totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars for properties he owned on North Railroad Avenue in Dillon.

Jackson’s plea agreement in the sexual-exploitation case also means he will be placed on South Carolina’s sex offender registry. He was also ordered to have no contact with his victims and to undergo alcohol and drug testing while on probation. His electronic devices will also be subject to search. He could have been sentenced to up to three years in prison on each count.

Jackson was suspended by Gov. Henry McMaster shortly after being sworn in as mayor in 2019 after being being indicted on 11 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. He had been scheduled to go on trial in December but the case was delayed because one of his attorneys is a state senator who was unavailable until after the General Assembly adjourned.

According to arrest warrants from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Jackson offered 10 teenage boys money in return for pictures of their genitals using the social media app Snapchat between June 2017 and April 2019. In some instances, Jackson also sent a minor “sexually explicit nude female photographs,” in addition to money.


While some minors refused Jackson’s overtures, others complied by sending him pictures of exposed private parts they found on the internet, for which they were paid, SLED said in the arrest warrants

Jackson was just 23 when he was elected to a four-year term in 2019. He took office as Dillon’s youngest mayor. That term ended in December.
