He is also reportedly under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Southwest Division Sexual Assault Investigation Unit, who shared in a press release Wednesday that they are “seeking additional victims.” The press release alleges that Jackson is targeting college-age women and claims that Jackson Jr. “was involved in additional unreported sexual assaults.”
It is unclear if Jackson Jr. has acquired legal representation at this time.

In a statement shared via Wednesday’s press release, District Attorney George Gascón said his department is working to “ensure that justice is served.”
“Sexual assault is a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated,” he said in the statement. “These brave women made the difficult decision to come forward and report their assault, now it is our turn to ensure justice is done. We will do everything we can to hold the person responsible for their actions accountable.”
