A former contestant from “American Idol” finds himself embroiled in legal troubles, facing multiple felony charges for allegedly engaging in sexual activities with a minor.

Based on information from the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura’s online records cited by TMZ, authorities apprehended 45-year-old Randy Madden on October 30. He is confronted with several charges, including:

  • Unlawful sexual intercourse
  • Anal and genital penetration by a foreign object
  • Oral copulation of a person under 18
  • Sending harmful matter
  • Luring
  • Dissuading a witness from reporting a crime

These alleged incidents reportedly took place between July and September, as detailed in the court documents.

Madden has entered a plea of not guilty to all accusations and secured his release from custody by posting a $100,000 bond on Tuesday.

He is slated to appear in court again on November 13.

During the eighth season of the show, Madden participated as a contestant but was eliminated by the judges after his audition in Phoenix, as reported by Mercury News.
