[CW: This story includes details of a suspected rape of a minor]

John Jackson, 33, has been found guilty on all counts during his rape trial in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands (per Virgin Island Daily News). Jackson is a 21-3 former WBC super welterweight title challenger and the son of Hall of Fame boxer Julian Jackson.

Over the weekend a jury deliberated for seven hours before delivering guilty verdicts on six different charges.

Four of those charges are related to a single victim. Those include first-degree rape of a person whose resistance was prevented “by stupor or weakness of mind” because of an intoxicating substance, aggravated second-degree rape of a person between the age of 13 and 15, production of child pornography and transportation of a minor for sexual activity.
