Jones reportedly distributed a topless photo of a woman, known as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, to a mutual friend on Facebook messenger.

He was found liable in San Diego civil court for distributing a private intimate photo without consent.

"She really wanted to fight for her rights and stand up for herself," said one of the plaintiff's lawyers, Robert Fitzpatrick. "She wanted the behavior to stop. She knew he had other photos, so she didn't know what he was capable of doing or planning on doing."

The original lawsuit was filed two years ago while Jones was the hitting coach with the Washington Nationals.

After the suit was filed, he was suspended indefinitely during the 2017 postseason. He was replaced on the coaching staff by Kevin Long and has been out of MLB since.

Prior to his coaching career, Jones spent 10 years in the majors with four different organizations with the majority of his time coming with the Minnesota Twins. He retired after the 2008 season.
