Nelson was sentenced to 90 days in jail, was ordered to pay fines and fees totaling $1,582 and was ordered not to have unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18 pending the findings of a psychological evaluation.

He was also accused of inviting the two girls, ages 16 and 17-years-old to consume alcohol with him.
Among the text messages Nelson was accused of sending to one of the girls, was “Then I can see you, you little hottie!” and “All you need is an older, more experienced guy that would appreciate you!“.
At sentencing Nelson told the judge, “What I did was stupid and irresponsible.”
The judge in sentencing him reportedly told Nelson, “It was more than stupid and irresponsible, it was criminal”.
