A Dobbs Ferry woman admitted yesterday that she helped her boyfriend sexually abuse a friend of hers by secretly drugging her.
Jessica Jacobson, 25, pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse in Westchester County Court in White Plains. She could have faced up to seven years in state prison, but was promised a three-year prison term by county Judge Gerald Loehr, who scheduled sentencing for May 5.
Authorities contend that Kevin Nowell, a married Ossining man who was dating Jacobson, wanted her to arrange a threesome. Jacobson invited her 23-year-old friend to her apartment Aug. 27 for Nowell to have sex with her and slipped Ecstasy into her drink.
The victim became weak from the mixture of the drug and alcohol and Nowell, 42, raped and sodomized her, authorities said. She left to get treated at a hospital after waking up and then contacted police.
The victim, from New Jersey, had been friends with Jacobson since college.
Her defense attorney came out with a great line after court:
"She's extremely remorseful over what occurred," defense lawyer Arthur Del Negro said afterward.
This was the result of a plea deal, so there must be some leniency involved. That said, this is a woman who truly deserves to have Carolyn Hansen post a sign on her front door for all to see. It goes without saying that rapist Kevin Nowell, who is from my town, is a monster. I cannot fathom how a woman could do this to another woman. Had she been plotting this for years because of something the victim did to her back in college?
