CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. — A former Osage Beach Police Officer is facing a felony and misdemeanor charge, after authorities say she sent nude photos to and had a sexual relationship with a student at School of the Osage during the 2019-2020 school year.

Jenna Jackson, an Osage Beach Police officer in her mid-20s, was a School Resource Officer for School of the Osage High School, when a student reported to a school official that Jackson had been attending parties with students and was allegedly involved in a sexual relationship with a student who was a senior at Osage High School. According to a probable cause statement written by an investigator with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, “school administrative staff conducted an investigation regarding the allegations, interviewed four students, including the [student] who was allegedly involved in the sexual relationship with Jackson. School of the Osage concluded their investigation, and determined the allegations were rumors with no substantiating evidence.”

Then, Osage Beach Police Chief Todd Davis asked the MSHP Division of Drug and Crime Control to investigate the allegations.

The Patrol investigator says multiple students acknowledged speaking with Jackson regularly through Snapchat and text messages. More than one student said they’d heard rumors Jackson was romantically involved with a male student.

Then, in a Feb. 3, 2021 interview, multiple male students who were friends of the student with whom Jackson allegedly had a relationship told the investigator they had seen nude photos of Jackson on his phone. Then the teen with whom authorities say Jackson had a relationship told the investigator about it, according to the document. He said it began with a friendship and escalated into something sexual, the court document says. When Jackson was asked about the relationship, authorities say she denied it at first, and then admitted it. Jackson reportedly told the investigator she had sent nude photos to the teen because of her deteriorating relationship with her fiancé. The court document also describes an intimate encounter Jackson reportedly admitted to having with the teen. She reportedly said the relationship ended when school let out (due to Covid), in March of 2020.

Jenna Jackson is charged with Misdemeanor Furnishing Pornographic Material to a Minor, and Felony Sexual Contact with a Student.
