Ex-Florida quarterback Jalen Kitna agreed to a plea deal Wednesday in Gainesville, Fla., that resulted in the dismissal of five felony child pornography charges connected to his arrest in November.
Kitna pleaded no contest to two counts of disorderly conduct, both of which are second-degree misdemeanors. He was sentenced to one year of probation by Eighth Judicial Circuit Judge Susan Miller-Jones, but he will not face any jail time and will not be registered as a sex offender.
“I want to start off by apologizing to my family, my friends and those that care about me,” Kitna, the son of former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, said in court Wednesday. “Their support through this whole ordeal has meant a lot to me. The hardest thing about this whole process has been seeing how it’s affected them.
