Melbourne, FL (February 4, 2019) – A man and two women were arrested after they were accused of forcing two teenage boys to engage in sex acts with one the man and women. Police have since identified the three. The man and the two women have been in a relationship with each other for some time.
Police investigated 41-year-old Scott Jacoby for molestation earlier this week. Jacoby attempted to take his own life by swallowing several prescription pills when police arrived at his home. Police said that Scott Jacoby is in a relationship with both 44-year-old Jennifer Jacoby and 35-year-old Kelli McKenzie. The three reside as a family unit with three young children in a home.
The three of them have been arrested for forcing two teenage boys between the ages of 12 years old and 16 years old to engage in acts with Scott Jacoby. The two women also had sex with the two young boys.
Jennifer Jacoby has since been charged with incest and sexual battery on a child. Though the two victims are now legally adults, there are still three children living in the home with the trio. Those children say that there has been no sexual interaction with them and the adults in the home. The three say the same thing.
Police are still investigating at this time. So far, a judge has granted them bail but will not allow them to have contact with the children upon release.
Melbourne Sexual Battery Laws
If you have been charged with a Florida sex crime in Melbourne or any other area of Florida, you might be staring straight at a variety of serious penalties as you navigate the legal system for the first time. Not only do these charges tend to be very humiliating and devastating to you, but they might also leave an impact on the rest of your life as you face prison time, fees, and a lifetime sexual offender registration requirement that could keep you from your career or keep you from living in certain areas. These crimes stick with a suspect and can impact everything that you do. Especially when a child is at the center of a sex crime in Florida, it can be extremely difficult to defend yourself, much less when you are forced to do so on your own. The courts see children as some of the most vulnerable parties and prosecute these crimes to the fullest extent of the law.
