Legally, Jackson is not off the hook yet. He must stay clear of trouble for the next six months to avoid jail time. He faced much more serious allegations connected to this case but was fortunate those charges were dropped earlier this year like a slick football on a cold, rainy day in November.

In legal parlance, a no contest plea means a defendant accepts a court’s conviction without admitting guilt. On Thursday, Jackson did just that via videoconference and was placed on unsupervised probation for six months, according to The Star.
