Robert J. "Bob" Troester U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma
Antwon Montrell Jackson, Sarah Larayna Holland, and Shanikka Nicole Jackson have entered guilty pleas to criminal charges related to child sex trafficking and witness tampering. The announcement came from U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
On February 20, a federal Grand Jury accused Antwon Jackson and Holland with conspiracy to commit child sex trafficking and child sex trafficking through a Second Superseding Indictment. Records indicate that Antwon Jackson, Holland's pimp, coordinated commercial sex acts with Holland and a minor female through online ads. These activities reportedly occurred between July 20 and July 25, 2024, in several cities across the Western District of Oklahoma. Customers allegedly paid through CashApp, with most proceeds going to Antwon Jackson.
On April 4, Shanikka Jackson, identified as Antwon Jackson’s sister, faced charges of witness tampering via Superseding Information. During the months from September 17 to December 5, 2024, she is accused of attempting to influence the minor involved in the case to avoid testifying at Antwon Jackson's federal trial.
Last week, Antwon Jackson and Holland confessed to Count 1 of the indictment, admitting to their conspiracy in trafficking a minor for sex, arranging commercial sex appointments, and financially benefiting from these actions, knowingly involving a minor under the age of 18. Holland confessed to posting ads and transporting the minor for these activities, while Antwon Jackson acknowledged instructing Holland on ad postings and liaising with interested customers.
Today, Shanikka Jackson admitted to the superseding charge, conceding she sought to relay Antwon Jackson's message to the victim to deter her from testifying.
At sentencing, Antwon Jackson and Holland each face the possibility of life imprisonment and fines up to $250,000. Shanikka Jackson could receive up to three years in prison and a similar fine.
This case involved investigations by Homeland Security Investigations, the Warr Acres Police Department, and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, with prosecution by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Bow Bottomly and Elizabeth Joynes.
