Records in Tarrant County, Texas, show that Barkevious Levon Mingo of West Monroe, Louisiana, posted a $25,000 bond. The offense is listed as indecency with child sexual contact.

There is no further information about the nature of the incident. PFT reached out to the Falcons for comment but did not receive a response.

The 30-year-old Mingo went to the Browns with the sixth overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft and has also played for the Patriots, Colts, Seahawks, Texans and Bears.

  1. He better not let his fellow inmates find out what he’s doing time for.

  2. Just the charge is a bad look for the Falcon here. Cut him. This is only going to get more ugly

  4. Innocent until proven otherwise. But…… that looks about as bad as it gets. At a minimum the team should remove the distraction of him being around.

  5. 6th overall pick. Sheesh. This is up there with the worst Browns busts, and that’s hard to do.

  7. But yet get pulled over for marijuana in your car and the bail is double.
    SMDH

  8. Ugliest crime, why even the other criminals don’t just look down on those who have been said to have done it. They often take action within prison walls and add, shall we say “punitive damages” to the accused on top of what the state has decided. If true it’s disgusting and the man deserves what’s coming his way IMO

  9. The Falcons MUST cut Mingo tonight and the NFL MUST suspend him pending the trial also tonight……

    Then IF guilty, obviously gone forever

  11. Some people. I can only imagine all the women throwing themselves at this buffoon & he chooses to sleep with an underage girl. Just another reason to not have a social media account tof any kind! Stupid is…

    You hear people say that a lot but I wonder how true it is anymore. Prisons are filled with sex offenders. It wasn’t always like this, until the advent of the internet put so many people within a clicks distance from each other. Sexual predators have been enabled by modern technology and unfortunately, sex crimes against under age children is waaaaaaaaay to common anymore.

    I am sure the most heinous offenders do meet with a lot of suffering. But I’m general, it would proabably be too much work for your standard POS to take on the task of beating up all the slightly even bigger POS’s.

  14. Never good when this follows your name “ ARRESTED FOR ‘INDECENCY W/ CHILD’” “ Could Face 20 Yrs In Prison”

  16. The last down he played was for the Bears so I consider him another Bears player charged with a felony.

  17. Bostonblows

    Good take. I hadn’t even considered if the increase in convictions on that charge had begun to normalize it within prison walls.

    When his legal issues are resolved, expect him to end up with the Chiefs.

    Remember when it ALWAYS used to be the Raiders? LOL.

  23. Looks like the NFL off season is keeping to tradition with multiple arrests. I was beginning to get worried.

    The Falcons still haven’t cut him. Disturbing.

  25. His career is over no team will look his way right now with this hanging over his head.

    That’s because they are actually guilty, Mingo is being investigated for the crime.

  28. Hopefully the headlines are much worse than whatever he did. That’s what I’m thinking. When you use the word child, you think of a child. Is 17 considered a child? Or are they talking about 11 years old? There’s a big difference. I never liked this guy as a player, but I’m willing to wait to see what actually happened before I’m ready to lock him up and throw away the key. Our courts are a lot more lenient with sex crimes than I ever would be, but I don’t have any idea what they’re talking about in this case. If someone is messing around with little girls, they should never walk free among the rest of us. The headlines are nauseating, but there have been times when the bark was worse than the bite.

    I sincerely hope you dont leave near any high schools…

  30. Has someone that has done prison time I can tell you that going to prison for any kind of sex offense means you are essentially doing solitary time. Any of the normal prisoners will not associate or talk to you, You have no protection. You are the target of all nefarious plans and attacks. If someone has to prove themselves for the people you are riding with, usually you prove yourself by assaulting a sex offender. You will get Robbed, and The only person that has your back is yourself, nobody is going to protect you. It’s not fun.

    ****************************
    He posted bond. It’s not only the title of the article, its the first sentence. Reading is fundamental.

  32. I hope this is a made up accusation by some terrible parents who want a money grab. I can honestly say in my 40 years on earth not a single person I have been associated with have had this accusation against them. It does not look good. I’d he is guilty he can say goodbye to life as he knows it. But I will wait to cast judgment until more facts come out.

  37. We should give Mingo the benefit of the doubt, for now, but if the charges are true, he needs to be in prison. Child predators don’t fare will in prison.

  38. Cookerduff123 simply says the worst kind of crime.
    Agreed!
    More disturbing are the thumbs down.
    Check those people.

  39. To all the posters tryimg to excuse a 16 or 17 year old as ‘adult:”. Stop it! Those are juniors in high school. Hes 30 years old. That is just plain creepy.

  40. Another good week for the woke NFL. One player arrested for an assault rifle, another for sexual contact with a child. No comment from the wok commissioner.

  41. Hey, BM, hope you saved some of those big, fat game checks since it looks like you won’t be getting anymore of those the rest of your life.

  42. Oh man. The details of the allegations. If they prove these? He’s SO toast.

  44. Possibly terrible crime..BUT…if he was as good a player as Frank Clark the Falcons would “let the legal process play out”
