He maintained that the accusations against him as a teenager were inaccurate and would ultimately\u200d be proven \u200cfalse.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-ncaa-qb-cleared-of-child-pornography-charges-speaks-out-after-8-months-of-silence\/\" title=\"Former NCAA QB cleared of child pornography charges breaks silence after 8 months.\">extensive 6-month-long investigation\u2064 brought<\/a> the prosecution to the\u200c conclusion I\u200c knew all along \u2014 this was not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/netflix-asks-federal-court-to-stop-texas-cuties-child-pornography-case\/\" title=\"Netflix Asks Federal Court to Stop Texas 'Cuties' Child Pornography Case\">child pornography case<\/a>,&#8221; \u200bKitna stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kitna went on\u200d to provide details about his \u200carrest and the events that unfolded. He explained that detectives arrived\u2062 early in the morning on November\u2064 30, 2022, when he was 19 years old, and began questioning him about his pornography use. Despite being shocked by their allegations,\u2062 Kitna\u2062 cooperated fully, sharing \u2064all his passwords and\u200d hiding nothing from them.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;They told me an image I shared online was potentially of an underage female,&#8221; Kitna \u200drecalled. &#8220;I was shocked because I\u2064 had found it on an easily accessible, legal site, and I\u2063 was\u2063 never looking for illegal material.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite his protestations, Kitna was arrested on suspicion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-viral-image-claims-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-was-arrested-for-child-pornography-2\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Viral Image Claims Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson Was Arrested For Child Pornography\">possessing child pornography<\/a>.

He clarified that\u200b there was no conviction, as he\u200d was not adjudicated by the court, and all \u2063his devices were returned by the police because they contained no \u200billegal material. The University of Florida also \u200dlifted the campus ban imposed\u200c during the\u2064 investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges he has\u2064 faced, Kitna remains hopeful for his future. \u200bHe expressed his determination\u2063 to learn from this experience and use his story to help \u200cothers avoid the pitfalls of \u2064naive technology use.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I am determined to use my story to help others \u200bavoid the pitfalls of naive technology use,&#8221;\u2064 Kitna \u200bconcluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the continued support of his loved ones and the hope for understanding from others, Kitna \u200cis\u2063 eager to pursue\u200c his\u200d football\u200d career and achieve the life he\u2064 has worked hard for.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ex-ncaa-qb-cleared-child-pornography-charges-speaks-8-months-silence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ex-NCAA QB Cleared \u2064of Child Pornography Charges Speaks Out After \u200c8 Months of Silence<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jalen Kitna, the ex-University of Florida quarterback, has spoken out about his arrest on child pornography charges.
