An arrest report says Jefferson acknowledged having sex twice with the woman earlier this month at Lowell Correctional Institution in Ocala. He said he never forced her to have sex, according to officials.

The woman told officials the sex was payment for Jefferson bringing her suboxone, a prescription drug used to treat opioid addicts.

Jefferson was being held on $10,000 bail. Jail records didn't list an attorney.
