Judge Rejects Sex Offender’s Probation Exit

A Maricopa County judge has slammed the door on a sex offender’s bid to end his lifetime probation — after he repeatedly violated rules, including contacting minors, attending a father-daughter dance unapproved, and discussing sex education with his own daughter. The victim, Kayleigh Kozack, who inspired “Kayleigh’s Law” for permanent victim protection, testified that Jacobsen remains a danger, and her husband echoed the plea for continued supervision. Experts say the case exposes critical gaps in probation oversight, where supervisors must deeply understand risk factors — a failure that only became public after this high-profile ruling. Jacobsen’s probation stands, under the watchful eye of Maricopa County Adult Probation, with no official comment from the department due to confidentiality.
