In November, they both pleaded guilty in federal court to enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity.

A judge ordered Bailey to pay $5,000 to the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015, and $10,000 to the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018.

Jordan is awaiting sentencing.

Bailey and Jordan were under investigation after police received information from the Department of Children and Families regarding accusations of a sexual abuse case involving Jordan.
