Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Austin Maddox has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from an underage sex sting.

Maddox, 34, pleaded guilty Thursday to meeting a minor to do unlawful acts and unlawful use of a two-way communications device. As part of a plea deal, Florida prosecutors dismissed a charge of soliciting a child via computer.

Maddox was one of 27 people arrested as part of a multi-agency operation in April 2024. They were accused of soliciting sex over the internet from people they believed were children, officials said.
Maddox agreed to meet the girl at a pre-arranged location, where he was arrested by law enforcement officers.
