Nationwide — Kristina Jacobson, a 39-year-old woman from Akron, Ohio, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after being found guilty of raping an infant and other related sexual crimes. Her co-defendant, Scott Jacobson, was also sentenced to life in prison last year.
Jacobson was convicted of rape, gross sexual imposition, and two counts involving illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. The sentencing came just two weeks after the jury found her guilty in Summit County court.
Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich condemned the crime, saying Jacobson exploited a child who couldn’t defend herself. “There is simply no excuse for this abhorrent crime,” he told WKYC.
Scott Jacobson, 45, pleaded guilty last November to multiple charges, including rape with a sexually violent predator label, and several counts related to pandering obscene material involving minors.
Both Kristina and Scott Jacobson have been classified as Tier III sex offenders, the highest level of sex offender designation in Ohio.
