The investigation began June 7, 2024, after an assistant state attorney notified authorities about a possible sexual battery case involving Jones and a victim who was under the age of 16. During the investigation, detectives learned Jones allegedly engaged in an ongoing sexual relationship with the juvenile victim, which first began in 2020.
Investigators determined the victim became pregnant twice as a result of that relationship. The victim gave birth to one child when she was 16 years old and later gave birth to a second child when she was 18. Based on the timeline of the pregnancies, investigators determined the victim was 15 and 17 when she became pregnant, indicating sexual battery on a minor occurred on two separate occasions.
Investigators with the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation obtained DNA samples from Jones and both children in December 2025.
On March 30, the NCSO received a laboratory report from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirming Jones was the biological father of both children.
Based on the investigation and DNA evidence, warrants were obtained charging Jones with child abuse and impregnating a child under the age of 16.
He has been booked into the Nassau County Jail and Detention Center.
