Jalen Kitna sobbed into his hands when his parents, including his father, former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, addressed the court during a 75-minute appearance.
University of Florida Gators backup quarterback Jalen Kitna, of Burleson, was released from jail on $80,000 bond Thursday, a day afteron five child pornography charges that police said included images of a man sexually assaulting a young girl.
Jon Kitna tapped his feet repeatedly and held hands with Jennifer throughout their son's first court appearance. Jalen Kitna donned a green smock — different from the striped pants and tops other inmates wear — typically given to those being kept under close watch because of concerns about their welfare. His booking photo showed him in normal jailhouse attire.
The investigation began in June with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children into images of child pornography being shared on the social media platform Discord. The investigation led authorities to Kitna. Kenyon, the attorney, argued that Kitna should be released with no monetary bond and suggested that those three images could be considered child erotica instead of child porn.
"Discord has a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse, which does not have a place on our platform or anywhere in society," a Discord spokesperson said in a statement released to The Associated Press."We work relentlessly to find and remove this abhorrent content and take action including banning the users responsible and engaging with the proper authorities."
