Breaking Live: Boston Red Sox Head Coach Alex Cora Brutally Murder in Cold Blood With Serious Investigation Ongoing Two Suspect’s Apprehended…
Former Red Sox pitcher Austin Maddox’s mugshot showed red marks on his face and a swollen right eye after he was tackled to the ground by police during his arrest in a child sex solicitation sting in Florida on April 28.
Maddox, 33, a former third-round pick by Boston in the 2012 MLB Draft, was one of 27 male suspects arrested for allegedly “trying to use the internet to sexually exploit children.”
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, in tandem with multiple agencies, released video footage Monday of its successful five-day operation “Valiant Knights,” which included video of the moment Maddox was arrested at a pre-arranged location where he believed he was meeting a 14-year-old girl for sexual encounters, according to police.
Maddox was arrested on four felony counts, including traveling to meet a minor after using a computer to solicit a child, and his bond was set at just over $300,000.
He is due in court Tuesday, May 28.
James Hill, a defense attorney for Maddox, said he intends to fight the allegations against him and will enter a plea of not guilty should formal charges be filed.
