Arrest Made In Cold Case Rape Of Teen In 1995

A 63-year old man makes his first court appearance Thursday on charges connected to a rape that happened 24 years ago in Palm Beach County.

In 1995, a 14-year old girl waiting on a school bus in West Palm Beach was approached by someone in a car who told her he knew her parents and offered her a ride to school. She got into his car and he sexually assaulted her.

U.S. Marshals on Wednesday arrested Jeffries Jackson for that crime, crediting DNA technology.

A match was found thanks to the man's DNA being in the law enforcement database after past arrests. The alleged victim then picked Jackson out of a photo lineup.
