Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputies in Florida arrested former University of Tennessee football player Mackenzie “Mack” Crowder Tuesday as part of an undercover sting operation targeting men soliciting sex from underage girls, WFLA NBC News Channel 8 reports.
The sheriff’s office says Crowder admitted to communicating with whom he thought was a 14-year-old girl, soliciting sex several times and sending her four pictures of his private parts.
According to WFLA, “he’s been charged with certain use of computer services prohibited and four counts of transmission of harmful material” and was released on $50,000 bail Wednesday morning.
The 23-year-old Crowder played in a combined 14 games at guard and center for the Volunteers over the past two seasons.
