In a startling turn of events, former Boston Red Sox pitcher Austin Maddox found himself behind bars in Jacksonville, Florida, after being ensnared in an underage sex sting, law enforcement authorities revealed on Monday.
Maddox’s apprehension was just one of the 27 arrests made in a meticulously planned multi-agency operation conducted late last month, as disclosed by Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters.

The individuals involved stand accused of engaging in solicitation of sex via the internet with individuals whom they believed to be minors, according to officials overseeing the investigation.

James Hill, the defense attorney representing Maddox, asserted his client’s innocence and expressed a firm intention to contest the allegations leveled against him. Hill stated unequivocally that Maddox would plead not guilty should formal charges be brought against him, signaling a forthcoming legal battle to clear his name.
