On April 30, 2025, a Marion County jury found Jessica Lee Pemberton, 38, guilty of one count of Assault in the Second Degree and one count of Violating a Court’s Stalking Protective Order.
The charges resulted from a September 4, 2022, incident where Pemberton intentionally struck another woman with her car. At the time of the incident, the victim had a court’s stalking protective order against her. The victim sustained bruising on her torso and an injury to her wrist. She ultimately recovered.
Marion County Circuit Court Judge Lindsay Partridge presided over the two day trial. The State was represented by Marion County Deputy District Attorney Mae D’Amico.
Pemberton is scheduled to be sentenced on May 14, 2025, at 1pm.
