Mount Clemens, MI – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that Jasmine Rix, a 30-year-old Mount Clemens woman, was sentenced last week after pleading no contest in March to multiple counts of distributing child sexually abusive material.
On March 12, 2026, Rix pled no contest to three counts of Distributing – Child Sexually Abusive Material before Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Michael E. Servitto. All three counts are felonies punishable by up to 7 years in prison.
On May 21, 2026, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Justin Pollard argued to increase the sentencing guidelines, which recommended 10 to 23 months. Probation recommended one year in the county jail based upon the sentencing guidelines. Judge Servitto took two weeks to consider the matter and ultimately granted the motion. The sentencing guidelines were established at 19-38 months in prison.
On Thursday, June 4, 2026, Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Michael E. Servitto sentenced Rix to a probationary term of 5 years with the first 60 days to be served in the Macomb County Jail.
Rix is required to register as a Tier II Sex Offender, which mandates 25 years of registration. She is also subject to registration under Wyatt’s Law, which is a database of individuals who are convicted of criminal offenses related to children. She must forfeit all devices that were used to commit the offenses.
"We are reviewing this matter and will determine our options accordingly. While we respect the Court's sentencing authority, we are disappointed by the sentence imposed in this case. The defendant pleaded no contest to distributing child sexually abusive material, and the sentencing guidelines called for a term of imprisonment of 19 to 38 months.
“The distribution of child sexually abusive material is not a victimless crime. Every image and video depicts the abuse of a real child, and the continued circulation of that material inflicts ongoing harm on those victims. Each act of sharing these files contributes to the continuing exploitation of children whose abuse is memorialized and repeatedly redistributed.
“Given the seriousness of the offense, the lasting impact on the victims, and the sentencing guideline range, my office believes that a sentence involving incarceration in prison would have more appropriately reflected the nature of the crime, promoted respect for the law, and provided just punishment. We remain committed to holding offenders accountable and protecting children from exploitation," stated Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office represents the People. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All individuals who are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
