Indiana FB Player Arrested, Accused of Child Molestation

Kiante Enis, a wide receiver for the Indiana football team, was arrested on Thursday on charges of child molestation. Local authorities suspect Enis of having a “possible relationship” with “a child 13 years or younger.”

Muncie, IN newspaper The Star Press reports that Enis, according to Randolph County police, “admitted to a consensual sexual encounter that occurred on at least two occasions in Randolph County.”

Enis was charged with two counts of child molestation, for which he could face as much as 16 years in prison.
