There is a scandal involving former Boston Red Sox player Austin Maddox. Unfortunately, it’s not good news. Maddox was recently arrested for attempting to meet an underage girl for relations.
This shocking incident has rocked the sports world and left many fans stunned. The video of his arrest has gone viral on the internet and it was brutal.
Ex-Boston Red Sox pitcher Maddox, who retired from baseball in 2020, has been accused of soliciting sex over the internet from people who they believed were children.
Jacksonville Sheriff T. K. Waters said that the 33-year-old is one of 27 people to have been arrested as part of a huge multi-agency operation in April.
“Austin Maddox, a former Red Sox MLB player, traveled with the intent of engaging in sexual activity with a 14-year-old child,” Waters said at a news conference Monday.
Video footage released by the sheriff’s office showed an officer tackling Maddox to the ground, and it is claimed he “resisted arrest” before police dogs were brought out.
He is charged with four felony counts, including traveling to meet after using a computer to solicit a child. He is being held in jail on a $300,000 bond.
It is alleged that Maddox began communicating with an agent who was manifesting as an underage girl on April 28.
Despite being informed by the ‘girl’ that they were 14, Maddox expressed his intent to have sex with her, according to the arrest report. He then agreed to meet her at a pre-arranged location and was arrested by the cops on arrival.
This goes to show you can’t always trust someone just because they used to play for your favorite team. It’s disappointing to hear about former Boston Red Sox player Austin Maddox’s recent arrest for such a disturbing offense. Underage girls should be a no-go area for adults.
