quote:

"They told me an image I shared online was potentially of an underage female," Kitna said. "I was shocked, because I had found it on an easily accessible, legal site, and I was never looking for illegal material. The photo included only a portion of the female body. I had no reason to believe the photo might be illegal."


quote:

"This investigation found no other images that were even questionable: No photos, no videos, no chats, no searches for inappropriate material, not one illegal activity," Kitna said. "The State determined the items police originally arrested me for should not be prosecuted either, either because the people depicted appeared to be of age or because it was not clear."


quote:

"I know I did not commit the crime people assumed and maybe believed. I have learned the lesson of how quickly naive decisions can lead to catastrophic consequences," Kitna said. "I'm sorry my family and friends have had to go through this unimaginable eight months, their love and support throughout has been humbling and encouraging."

I hate Florida but if he's telling the truth, what's right is right and shame on Billy for throwing him off the team on baseless shitty allegations.

12/12 coaches throw him off the team. That’s not something you mess around with. Hard to blame the coach at all imo. The media and police and DA on the other hand…

He's throwing stones anyhow since Kirby booted a player who wasn't even charged.

Competent programs have a guy who can work the system and find out what they have, and determine if it's bullshite or something with legs, and advise the program on the next course of disciplinary action. Billy's program went with headlines and social media posts.

We don’t have handlers like a Georgia does to bribe the police. Likely destroying evidence and everything along the way.

Police said Kitna shared two images of young girls being sexually abused



quote:

The report shows Kitna also told police "he might have accidentally downloaded child sexual abuse material but would immediately delete it" and "he has been struggling with controlling his interests."


quote:

Police later searched his phone and found three more images of two nude young girls in a shower. photos that had been saved to Kitna's phone in December 2021. The report did not estimate the ages of the girls. Kitna's lawyer Caleb Kenyon argued those three images could be considered child erotica instead of child porn.


He got out of it. He should really just be quiet.

Have to agree with this but tbh, I can't blame a coach in this day and time for a little overreacting on this subject. Could easily destroy your livlihood. If this is true though, hope the kid destroys the cops/politicians for it.
