Barkevious Mingo Allegations

Dsoto87 · 2021-07-11T10:47:10-07:00

According to documents filed by Arlington PD pertaining to a search warrant and obtained by SI: Mingo invited a teenage family member and the boy's friend, also a teenager, to spend the day with him. Mingo took the boys to the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park in Arlington and K1 Speed, a Dallas-area go-kart complex. They had dinner at BJ's restaurant, a popular local steakhouse. Mingo paid for everything, including a season pass to K1 Speed. Mingo also treated the boys to a shopping spree, paying for items they chose from Nike.com. The relative's friend chose a variety of T-shirts, shoes and shorts. The gear was shipped to the boy at the address of his friend, Mingo's family member. On the night of July 4, 2019, the boys returned to the local hotel where Mingo was staying. According to the documents obtained by Sports Illustrated, the boy fell asleep, but at approximately 3 a.m. he woke up and noticed Mingo in bed with him. He "thought it was odd," according to documents, because the plan was for the two boys to sleep in a room separate from Mingo. He thought little of it and went back to sleep. According to the document, "The victim was then woken by [Mingo] pulling at his underwear. This occurred for a few minutes until the suspect got more and aggressive and pulled the victim's underwear down to his shins. The victim advised that when this was occurring, he was scared and pretended to be asleep. [Mingo] put a lotion on that made the victim's skin burn and … rubbed his penis up and down, in between the victim's butt crack." When, in January 2021, the boy's mother made a complaint to the local police, the case was assigned to a detective with the Arlington Police Department Crimes Against Children Unit. In February 2021, as part of the investigation, Arlington police applied to the Tarrant County Judge David C. Hagerman for a search warrant to obtain Nike's sales records from July 4, 2019, pertaining to three orders. As the Arlington police detective put forth in the application, the "evidence will corroborate the victim's statements. Furthermore it is known to [the detective] … that purchasing gifts for children is a known "grooming" behavior in Child Sexual Abuse cases." f**k this guy hard if it's true. But I also believe in innocent until proven guilty and wouldn't put it past someone to make these allegations to get some money out of a "celebrity".

It was family member and his friend. Why would they think anything bad is going to happen? It was even believed the teens would have their own room separate from Mingos.

Disturbing. But let it all play out. Sometimes I wish these stories weren't leaked so detectives could do their job.

Sounds like they've had plenty of time to do it.

Why wait so damn long,this should have been reported as soon as it happened or as least the very next day.....sounds like a money grab, but some people are very quick to judge the suspect guilty without knowing ALL the facts,that seeems to happen way to often on this forum.

One of the problems I have when I hear allegations against athletes or movie starts is whether it's a money grab. These people aren't perfect and deserve to be prosecuted if guilty but it seems like an awful lot of them get charged with beatings or rapes. Is there something about famous, wealthy people that makes them behave badly? I guess some of them feel like they are special and can get away with anything but there are also a lot of women and men looking for an east payday. Making charges against a high profile person is a quick way to make money. It usually comes down to one person's word against another. These things often end up being settled out of court with a payoff.

yep, it's unfortunate. I was called for jury duty for a child abuse case and they asked me, when they were selecting jurors, if i could convict someone based solely on one person's testimony. No dna no photos nothing. I said no. I can't ruin someone's life based on just somebody else's say-so.

The judgment on the accused and the accusers is why I wish the stories didn't leak. It'd never happen but it would be great. Cases could go to trial (if it goes that far) and juries wouldn't be compromised.

If this stayed quiet, how can you get other victims to come forward?

This allegation sounds like a person who knows what their doing, a predator

So did they excuse you?

You are right about the how do you get other victims to come forward. I take my statement back.

As for the story, yeah it sounds pretty sick.
