On August 28, 2019, Maroney turned himself into police following a police investigation into a prostitution ring in Marshall County that revealed text messages exchanged between Maroney and one of the alleged prostitutes in the area. The New York Post reported that “Maroney exchanged text messages to discuss prices and set up meetings with a woman who has acknowledged being a prostitute, according to a criminal complaint.” Maroney pleaded not guilty to soliciting a prostitute. He was released on $4,500 bond. A jury trial date was initially set for December 13, 2019. It was later delayed. In a hearing on June 15, 2020, Maroney's trial was delayed again until July 29. Maroney's trial was postponed indefinitely in October 2020 when his attorney requested a special prosecutor for the case. In March 2021, 12 WBOY reported that a special prosecutor dropped all charges against Maroney.
