Details have emerged in the case surrounding Telvin Smith’s arrest.
The former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker was arrested on Wednesday and booked for unlawful sexual activity with a minor. According to TMZ Sports, Smith met the underage girl in August 2019. He allegedly was informed by the girl’s coworkers that the girl was under 18, yet he still pursued her.
The two allegedly had sex a few days later, and Smith gave the girl $200 for her troubles. She used part of the money for emergency contraception.
They had another sexual incident in September 2019. The girl told family members about the incidents, and police were notified.
Police investigating the matter saw that DNA inside Smith’s car matched with the girl’s DNA. They also have voice messages from Smith to the girl.
Smith, who had 134 tackles in 2018 for the Jags, did not play last season.
