Investigators arrested a registered sex offender who is accused of selling a woman for sex on Aurora Ave. in Seattle and raping the victim while acting as her ‘pimp.’
Dawnte Jackson, 43, was charged Wednesday afternoon with two counts of rape, assault, promoting prostitution, and unlawful possession of a weapon, according to filings in King County Superior Court.
Seattle police arrested Jackson on Saturday after responding to a report of a fight with shots fired at his home on South Bennet Street.
A woman told police that Jackson had threatened her before breaking out windows in the home and firing a gun multiple times, then punching her in the head repeatedly, a police report states.
