According to the charging documents, Edwards admitted to the accusations made against him during an interview with TCSO

He was charged with one count of first-degree sexual abuse, a Class C felony, and booked in the Tuscaloosa County Jail, but was no longer listed as an inmate there Monday, which may indicate he has been released on a $15,000 bond. His mugshot was not publicly available Monday.
