MCCOMB, Miss. (WJTV) – The Mississippi Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction of the former executive director of the Jubilee Performing Art School in McComb.

Terrance Alexander was sentenced to 240 years in prison after he was convicted by a jury on six criminal counts of sexual exploitation of minors in February 2023.

Alexander appealed his conviction, but the Appeals Court said they found no reversible error, and they affirmed each of his convictions and sentences.

Alexander was arrested in October 2021 after he was accused of engaging in various sex acts with children for almost a decade.

An indictment stated Alexander performed sex acts with one child in 2018. Prosecutors said he also possessed a video depicting performing sex acts. Prosecutors said Alexander also persuaded children to perform sex acts with others while they were in his presence.

Alexander is being held at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution while in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC).
