The indictment accuses Jackson of offering a young female drunken-driving defendant "a different attorney to get her case dismissed." In return, Jackson allegedly wanted her consent to "a relationship with him that was more than a one-night stand."
His attorney, Clay Rawlings, has said his client is not guilty.
If convicted, Jackson could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. ABC13 has confirmed he'll continue to receive his $140,000-a-year salary while on suspension.
