Jalen Kitna, 19, was a rising star playing as quarterback for the Florida Gators when he was reported for sharing child porn. He also had some child pornographic images in his possession. This has shocked his college, and they have already suspended Jalen Kitna with immediate effect.
The young man has, to date, played four games for the Florida Gators this season and has his entire future washed out due to his behavior. It is likely he will not be on the team again.
Jon Kitna, Jalen’s father, has played since 1996, starting with the Seattle Seahawks. He also played for Barcelona Dragons, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, and the Dallas Cowboys. He decided to retire in 2011.
After his retirement, Jon took on coaching positions for many schools and colleges. He is the recipient of several awards, from NFL to World Bowl. Jon has played 141 games with 169 touchdowns. The man is also a charity giver and has donated his match fees to schools he has taught and learned in.
The University of Florida, having received the news, suspended him from the football program. They are shocked beyond words and do not condone this behaviour.
The Police Department at Gainesville got a tip from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that a discord user was sharing child abuse material through their platform. The police, having confronted Jalen and interviewed him, confessed that he shared the material as he thought it was legal because he found it online.
Discord terminated Jalen’s account and sent a message to him stating the reason for misusing their services. The police seized his electronic devices and came upon more incriminating material from him. He was charged with two counts of distribution and three counts of possession.
