A Wilmington mother will spend the next decade and a half behind bars after being convicted of severely abusing and torturing her two young children.
Alexus Jackson, 29, received her sentence on April 10, 2026, in New Castle County court. The judge handed down 15 years in state prison, followed by one year of partial confinement and 18 months of supervised probation.
Jackson was found guilty of child abuse, torture, and endangerment charges involving her two children. As part of her sentence, the court has prohibited any contact between Jackson and the victims.
The Delaware Department of Justice prosecuted the case, which highlights ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable children from harm in their own homes.
