Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Austin Maddox is facing four felony count charges after he was arrested as part of an underage sex sting.
The Associated Press reported police in Jacksonville, Florida, announced Monday that Maddox and 26 other people were arrested as part of this operation. Those who were arrested allegedly solicited sex over the internet from people who they believed to be children.
Maddox is in jail and being held on a $300,000 bond following his arrest.
His attorney said the plan is to enter a not guilty plea if authorities file formal charges.
