A Eugene couple who recently divorced after the husband was arrested on charges that he sexually abused his adopted daughter are being sued by the alleged ­victim, who is seeking to void a key piece of the divorce agreement as part of her $9 million complaint.

Raeonna Grace Jackson, 22, filed her lawsuit Thursday in Lane County Circuit Court. It accuses her father, longtime Eugene insurance agent and church pastor Richard Hayes Jackson, of sexual abuse and abuse of a vulnerable person, and her mother, Evelyn Suzanne Jackson, of abuse of a vulnerable person and negligence.

It also accuses both parents of fraudulent conveyance in connection with a part of the couple’s divorce agreement that transferred Rick Jackson’s interest in six real estate properties valued at a total of about $1.5 ­million to his now ex-wife.

Raeonna Jackson alleges the transfer made her father insolvent and was done to “hinder, delay or defraud her.”

The Register-Guard had not previously identified Raeonna Jackson by name as the alleged victim in her father’s criminal case. However, she lists her name in the lawsuit and indicated in a statement issued Friday by her ­attorney that she does not need her identity to be kept secret.
