A city man has been indicted on 299 child abuse charges, including 271 charges of aggravated rape of a child with force.

Terry Jackson, 54, whose address is listed in court documents as 36 Montello St. Extension, Apt. 1, was indicted by a Plymouth County grand jury in connection with incidents that date from 2009 to 2010. He is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Brockton Superior Court.

The number of alleged crimes may seem shocking, but one expert said child-abuse cases can involve dozens or even hundreds of charges.

“I have certainly worked on cases where a great many counts have been charged,” said David Lisak, a UMass-Boston psychology professor. “(Prosecutors) are going to charge what they believe they can prove in court.”

In addition to many charges of aggravated rape of a child with force, Jackson was indicted on other child sex assault charges, including intimidation of a witness and 12 counts of posing or exhibiting a child in a state of nudity.

A spokesman for the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office said Thursday that he could not provide any more information before the arraignment. Court papers indicate the incidents occurred in Brockton.

No attorney was listed for Jackson in available court documents.
