Kiante Enis Charged with Child Molestation: Details, Comments on Indiana WR

Indiana University freshman wide receiver Kiante Enis was arrested Thursday in Winchester, Indiana, and charged with two counts of child molestation.

According to Douglas Walker of the Star Press, Enis is being held in jail on $20,000 bond because of suspicion of a relationship with a child 13 years of age or younger. He was dismissed from the team, per a statement from the university (via Greg Rakestraw of 107.5 FM in Indianapolis). 

Enis admitted to having at least two "consensual sexual encounter[s]," per a press release from the Randolph County, Indiana, sheriff's department.

Mike Miller of Hoosier Sports Report provided more details on Friday: 

"

Enis, the former Indiana football player charged with two counts of child molesting, told investigators that he was initially unaware of the girl’s age when the two began a sexual relationship in March, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Randolph Circuit Court on Friday.

But after having sex for the first time, Enis, 19, learned the girl was only 13 years old — and he admitted to engaging in sex with her on two more occasions, according to the affidavit.

The 19-year-old Enis was a running back at Winchester Community School and was rated a 3-star recruit by 247Sports' composite rankings.

"

Enis is listed on the Hoosiers roster as a wide receiver, but he had yet to appear in a game for the school this season prior to his arrest.

According to Walker, Enis could face up to 16 years in prison if found guilty.
