Former Florida quarterback Jalen Kitna, the son of retired NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, has accepted a plea deal that resulted in the dismissal of five felony child pornography charges. 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 but will not face jail time or be registered as a sex offender. The plea deal was accepted on Wednesday in Gainesville, Florida, and was issued by Eighth Judicial Circuit Judge Susan Miller-Jones.

Kitna was arrested in November 2022 on federal child pornography charges, including possession and distribution. Two counts of "distribution of child exploitation material" and three counts of "possession of child pornography" were initially filed against him. Following his arrest, Kitna was dismissed from the Florida Gators football team and is currently serving a multi-year ban from the university campus until November 2025.

With the plea deal, Kitna avoids the more serious charges and potential lifelong consequences associated with them. He will now serve a probationary period instead.
