Florida back-up quarterback Jalen Kitna was expected to be released from jail on an $80,000 bond on Thursday, a day after he was arrested on five charges involving child abuse images.
Judge Meshon Rawls set the bond and as conditions for Kitna’s release ordered him not to have any unsupervised contact with minors and not to have any internet access.
Kitna sobbed into his hands when his father, former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna and mother, Jennifer Kitna, addressed the court during a 75-minute appearance. Jalen Kitna was at Alachua County Jail and on a closed-circuit feed when Jon and Jennifer Kitna stepped to a podium in the courtroom and promised they would supervise their 19-year-old son at their home in Texas.
“He’s got a great family. He’s got good family support. He’s going to be well taken care of,” one of Kitna’s attorneys, Caleb Kenyon, said outside the courthouse.
The Gainesville Police Department released Kitna’s arrest report on Thursday, providing details about the complaints filed against the now-suspended football player.
