Investigators were notified on June 7, 2024 by "an assistant state attorney notified authorities about a possible sexual battery case involving Jones and a victim who was under the age of 16," NCSO said.
They found that Jones’ “ongoing sexual relationship” with the victim first began in 2020.
The victim gave birth to two children, one when she was 16 and one when she was 18, NCSO said. She was 15 and 17 when she became pregnant.
