In May 2024, an 18-year-old North Carolina woman walked into a police station to report that she had been s*xually assaulted, and groomed by her mother and to have s*x with her father since the age of 13-15

Fourteen months later, both she and her father were charged with in**st and crime against nature

According to a search warrant obtained and executed in September by the Erwin Police (Harnett County: 31 miles south of Raleigh), Mackenzie Hicks had come to the police department to "file a report in reference to s*xual assault"

Hicks allegedly told police that when she was about fifteen, her mother had her perform s*xual acts with her father Julius Jackson "while they were intoxicated," but that he "pushed \[her] off" and was angry at the mother "'woke up' and realized what was going on"

However, she "did not want to follow through with the case due to her father possibly being charged as well" according to the affidavit by the police

In September 2024, a detective spoke with two women sharing the same last name as Hicks (possible familial relation unspecified), one of whom relayed to police information from her daughter that Hicks "had been molested by Mr. Jackson" and was pregnant, but that "some of the interactions between Ms. Hicks and Mr. Jackson could be consensual" and that the father-daughter pair were "in a relationship"

The police took no action until one year later, when a family friend of the alleged in**sters reported to police that Jackson was the father and grandfather of Hicks' 6-month-old infant

Upon receiving this report, Erwin Police obtained and executed a search warrant on the home where the in**stuous behavior allegedly occurred, as well as for DNA

(According to further court filings, the samples obtained allowed the crime lab confirmed the in**stuous conception of the child/grandchild)

In December, the police obtained warrants and arrested Hicks and Jackson, the latter of whom is now facing additional charges for allegedly resisting arrest and crashing a vehicle while fleeing in nearby Dunn (Jackson has an extensive history with the law)

Jackson also faces charges for abandoning two dogs, tormenting two cats, reckless driving, possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction (an AR-15) as a felon, and littering

Hicks and Jackson are both being held at the Harnett county jail, on a bond of $1 million and $1.5+ million respectively

The police also searched a residence in Sampson County where Jackson, Hicks, and their child were listed as living on an open DSS case into the "family"

EXCLUSIVE: New Franklin schools superintendent pushed DEI, neo-Marxist pedagogy

Dr. Nakia Hardy, the Franklin County Board of Education's pick for the district's next superintendent, "implemented district-wide professional development on understanding implicit bias, equitable practices, and culturally responsive pedagogy" when Deputy Superintendent at Durham Public Schools

In response to an inquiry about whether such a candidate was compatible with a district that elected anti-DEI politicians at the state and federal level, the district cited her "alignment with the district's mission and strategic priorities"

Both of Franklin County's representatives in the state legislature voted for a bill which would ban the very type of "professional development" around "divisive concepts" that Hardy is credited with

The rally's organizers include the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and 50501 NC

Although there has been estimates of "hundreds" by other news outlets, the crowd size appears to be closer to a thousand, with the march taking up nearly a third of a city block when not in motion and packed together
