Fayettevil­le woman sentenced for sex video

- RON WOOD

FAYETTEVIL­LE — A Fayettevil­le woman was sentenced to six years in prison Monday for filming an underage girl having sex with an adult male and sharing it online.

Jessyca Hoskins, 28, pleaded guilty in September to distributi­ng child pornograph­y in a deal with federal prosecutor­s. Hoskins’ prison term will be followed by five years of supervised probation. She also was fined $2,400.

Hoskins was ordered to have no unsupervis­ed contact with minors, with the exception of her child, and ordered to have no unauthoriz­ed computer access except what may be required for work. She also will be required to register as a sex offender.

She faced five to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000.

Jason Germund Henry, 26, of West Memphis, a former Razorback basketball player, was charged in state court with human traffickin­g and fourth-degree sexual assault involving the girl.

Henry was arrested after police received a call from Washington Regional Medical Center’s emergency staff that a 14-year- old girl had been sexually assaulted multiple times, according to police call logs and Henry’s arrest report.

The girl told police a man named “Allstar” acted as her pimp and had sex with her. The man texted her about how much to charge for sex acts and he was in charge of her, according to police reports.

Police said “Allstar” is Henry, who played one season with the University of Arkansas before being cut from the team in 2009 for academic problems.

Henry pleaded guilty in Washington County Circuit Court in January to promoting prostituti­on and sexually assaulting the 14-year-old girl. He was sentenced to 12 years at the Arkansas Department of Correction with six years suspended.

While investigat­ing Henry, police found a witness who provided them with a three-minute video of the girl and a man having sex and told them Hoskins sent it to her on Facebook. Police determined the video was filmed at Hoskins’ apartment.

Hoskins admitted to police the girl was at her apartment the evening of March 21, 2015. Hoskins also told police she knew the girl was underage and she shared the video with the witness.
