Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson will not face a felony charge after his arrest on a domestic violence charge in June, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed to ESPN. Jackson's case was referred to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.
Ivor Pine, a spokesperson for the city attorney's office, said the case has been assigned for a pre-filing diversion available to eligible individuals as an alternative to misdemeanor criminal prosecution.
"Charges are not filed against the respondent at this time, however, the case stays open throughout the length of the statute of limitations. It can be re-evaluated if there are further developments," Pine said in a statement. Jackson was arrested June 8 on a charge for "a person who willfully inflicts corporal injury" against a spouse, police told ESPN.
Jackson could still be subject to discipline by the NFL under its personal conduct policy. Jackson was sued last year by a woman who alleged he recorded her without her consent during sex, repeatedly refused to delete the video and taunted her with it. The woman reported the incident to the NFL, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, originally filed last November in Los Angeles Superior Court, was moved to federal court and dismissed April 10. In 2024, Jackson served a two-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The Rams signed Jackson to a three-year, $57 million contract extension in February 2025.
