A Flomaton High School football star is accused of having a sexual relationship with a child. The Escambia County, Alabama Sheriff's Office arrested 19-year-old Tony Ellis Tuesday. Now, he's charged with sodomy, sexual abuse, and enticing a minor for immoral purposes. Sheriff Grover Smith says the victim is a 12-year-old girl, "this young lady shared it with a teacher who shared it with the Department of Human Resources and ultimately us," said Smith. We tried to get in touch with Ellis for comment but we were unable to do so. He is out on a $150,000 bond. If convicted, he's facing 2 to 15 years behind bars.
