‘Abhorrent': Akron woman sentenced for raping infant
AKRON, Ohio (WJW) — A Summit County judge has sentenced a woman to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the rape of an infant.
Kristina Jacobson, 39, was convicted last week by a jury and sentenced Thursday on multiple charges, including:
One count of rape, a first-degree felony
Two counts of illegal use of a minor or impaired person in nudity-oriented material or performance, both second-degree felonies
One count of gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony
Close encounter: Black bear spotted on local doorbell camera
'Kristina Jacobson abused an innocent child's vulnerability and inability to defend or advocate for herself,' Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich said in a statement. 'There is simply no excuse for this abhorrent crime.'
Her husband and co-defendant, Scott Jacobson, 45, was sentenced in November 2024 to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to multiple sex crimes involving minors.
The victims were under the age of 13, according to the pair's indictment.

The indictment alleges the offenses happened between December 2011 and December 2015, and between April 2024 and May 2024.
Both have been classified as Tier III sex offenders.
In Ohio, a Tier III sex offender is someone convicted of a 'most severe' felony sex offense, requiring registration every 90 days for life and community notification.
