Howard Jacks not revoked but ordered to have no contact with alleged victim
Summary
After reviewing witness accounts and medical notes, a parole panel declined to revoke Howard Jacks's parole Sept. 18, 2025, but imposed a no‑contact condition with the alleged victim and instructed third‑party child exchanges.
A parole panel considered allegations that Howard Jacks assaulted his son's mother during an October 2024 incident. After hearing testimony from the alleged victim and family members and reviewing the police report, the panel voted not to revoke Jacks’s parole on Sept. 18, 2025, but imposed a no‑contact condition with the alleged victim.
Jacks denied striking the woman and said the disagreement was verbal. The alleged victim told the panel she called police about a verbal altercation and later said she had a contusion on her forehead, but she also testified at the hearing that he "never hit" her. Jacks's aunt read a prepared statement supporting him and describing family circumstances and past trauma.
Nut graf: The panel concluded witness statements and circumstances did not, in their view, support revocation but added a protective condition: Jacks may have no contact with the alleged victim and must use a third party or police station for child exchanges.
Panel members emphasized alternatives to revocation: restricting contact with the alleged victim and arranging supervised child transfers. The panel's decision was unanimous not to revoke, with the condition that Jacks have no contact with the victim and that exchanges occur through a third party or a safe public location.
Ending: Jacks remains on parole under a newly imposed no‑contact condition and with instructions for supervised child exchanges; the panel recorded monitoring and enforcement expectations.
