Former Florida QB sentenced to probation following plea deal that reduced child porn charges to misdemeanors
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Former Florida Gators quarterback Jalen Kitna, 20, was sentenced today to two consecutive 6-month probation terms with remote reporting after entering a plea of nolo contendere to two counts of disorderly conduct.
Kitna was arrested on November 30 and charged with two counts of distribution of child exploitation material and three counts of possession of child pornography. The arrest report revealed that he admitted to spending time on servers that “discuss, solicit, and distribute child sexual abuse material,” but that he “tries to shy away from it.” The arrest report also stated that he “has been struggling with controlling his interests (age-appropriate material, incest, etc).”
A search of Kitna’s iPhone reportedly found three child sexual abuse images that showed two nude pubescent juvenile girls in a shower in various poses.
Formal charges were filed today, downgrading five felonies to two counts of disorderly conduct, a second-degree misdemeanor; the statute defining disorderly conduct includes committing “such acts that were of a nature to corrupt the public morals or outrage the sense of public decency.”
The plea deal states that the maximum sentence for the reduced charges is 120 days in jail. The deal includes a stipulation that probation on the second count will terminate at the same time as probation on the first count (after six months) if all conditions have been met. Continued “life counseling” is required, and adjudication of guilt was withheld on the charges. Judge Susan Miller-Jones accepted the plea deal. Brooke King was the Assistant State Attorney on the case, and Kitna was represented by Ronald Kozlowski.
Not even a classification as a sex offender? Man his rich parents really went out on a limb for him! Wh*te privilege and all the best things that money can buy, here!
Inb4 he ‘did his time’ or ‘is remorseful’ or ‘too young to have his life thrown away.’ It’s not about that – I know none of the other people locked up right now for the same thing will get such a soft slap on the wrist. Why does this one get such special treatment?
Has nothing to do with being white or black. Didn’t OJ get off? Didn’t Kobe get off? Didn’t Michael Jackson get off? What it DOES have to do with is not racism but classism. What do OJ, Kobe, MJ and now this young Kitna have in common? They are all either rich or come from rich families. So let’s not kid ourselves with this racism nonsense anymore. In a very real sense, racism is dead. Classism, on the other hand, is alive and thriving.
You left out hunter Biden lied on a federal document you and I would have been locked up
Real Johnny, why did you bring race into Clown’s comment. It wasn’t there and has no bearing on this case and topic.
Rogers, re-read Clown’s comments. He purposely stated ‘White privilege’. It was clearly there.
To say racism is dead is very stupid, but I can agree with everything else you said.
I agree! White privilege, or black/yellow/brown privilege, is not the issue here! It is money and social standing, or as many I know like to say, “Money talks and Bullshi! walks!”
This dude should be in jail, he had “sexual abuse images” on his phone! Oh yes, he is remorseful, “tries to shy away from it.” What a crock!
Unfortunately for some young child, he’ll be back for more somewhere in the future! POS!
I totally agree with you Money does matter the rich get the brakes it doesn’t matter about skin color he should have been put in prison and defined as a child molester
It sounds like the pictures probably weren’t sexually explicit even though they were nude. Michael Jackson claimed his books were art books and was never prosecuted. Maybe they didn’t want it to go to trial for that reason. There probably is some reason for the plea agreement other than privilege.
I have been informed that the photos were sexually explicit. Maybe the case has some other fundamental flaw discouraging them from wanting to take it to trial.
Real Johnny. Go walk your white ass around the Phoenix neighborhood at night and then tell me racism is dead. You wouldn’t be able to because you’d be dead. Or in the hospital.
So your saying the phoenix neighborhood is racist to white people why would that be
I can assure you I would take a few with me
One could say it doesn’t matter how well you can or can’t play, what matters is how well you can pay.
Wonder if his parents will take that out of his dowry?
Johnny brought it up to make the point the idiot comment squad in here immediately go to race when stating their shit ass opinions….more so and not surprisingly, both of you.
TuMama may need to go visit a writing class.
What a moron.
Disgusting! is the only word I have for the judge & whoever allowed the charges to be dropped. Because you didn’t/wouldn’t do your job, this Pedophile WILL victimize more children. Except next time he’ll take it even further, if he hasn’t already. This is beyond vile! When it comes to SA especially of children…. You don’t let that go!!! Eighth Judicial Circuit Judge Susan Miller-Jones needs to be removed from the bench!
Money talks and bull sh** walks !
What about everyone else that is paying
For a sex crime
I don’t care what color or who you are you don’t mess with KIDS be it pornography or molesting. Need to start standing up to the Attorneys and JUDGES for these slap on the wrist and reduced sentences.
I wouldn’t even call this a slap on the wrist. More of a wink and “don’t do it again, son” from the judge. What an absolute farce.
He should go back to Washington where such behavior is condoned, Btw, has fsu offered him a scholarship yet?
Really surprised at the judge signing off on this. Is she a season ticket holder now or get a bump in seating arrangements, account become fuller. Judge always has final say so in any plea bargain.
The only flaw in this case was Law Enforcement did get double secret permission to charge a UF football player who’s daddy was a NFL player. Daddy has the money to ensure Chester doesn’t do time or has to be classified as a sex offender. I wonder what happens when he does it again. Another example of UF/NFL special treatment was Dock Luckie’s daughter recently who was up to eyeballs involved in a home invasion and murder but only gets a slap on the wrist. This nothing to do with race and everything to do about entitlement given to athleticism.
Well, at least he didn’t have to do anytime with his teammate. Didn’t another UF player just get arrested in harbor cove for something stupid?
Anyhow, it’s my unsolicited opinion that, the attorneys make more and more bank, off the melliniels that believe “GTA San Andreas” is real.
It’s not that hard to figure it out neither.
There is pornographic aspects of video games. SEX SELLS! And if the wrong stuff is found on your URL, legal reality will set in. I am not forgiving what he was charged with. Don’t hear me wrong. It just is what it is.
Another aspect of my spill here is that popular army sniper game all the melliniels be playing.
Ok, that mentality can’t be undone with 6 months at the police academy. Therefore we have al withl the trigger happy younger Officer Police shootings. The programmers and marketing of the video games are geared towards both the White and Black communities.
In conclusion,
For me, and just for me, Picking up my iphone every day is much like picking up my gun. I can use it for good, and keep on the right side of things, or download a bunch of stuff I know I ain’t supposed to look at, and go rob people.
Or maybe , I guess I just don’t want a mugshot.
🤣
The State Attorneys office provided a excuse for dropping charges. According to the report of TV 20 the spokesperson went on about being 19 years old looking at 16 year olds and psycho analysis of the suspect, blah, blah. Either TV 20 has a lot of typos in its report or the person speaking for the State Attorneys office is a Moron. First off if you are 19 years old and engage in sexual relations with someone under 18 it is illegal, it’s called Statutory Rape. There are exceptions but in this case it seems to be comparing child porn pictures with a phyiscal relationship. Each picture of child porn can be considered one count of possession. Another interesting fact is that they had all this psycho analysis done. I am sure that this not done on every Chester case. The taxpayers could not afford it. Why is the State Attorney working so hard to convince the sheep that there is nothing here to see and move along. Another example of the Stzte Attorney telling you that its raining and peeing on your back. I don’t smell sweet summer rain I smell piss.
Kitna never touched, interfaced with, or sought out underage girls. He stupidly and ignorantly pick-up 3 pictures of underage teens and sent one to a friend. Counseling and monitoring are the best choice for him and anyone else, no matter what color or how little money they have.
