Doug Hindman appeared on the grass of Scott Field as a "sponsor" of the Mississippi State-Arkansas football game last Saturday. He even appeared on the radio pregame show as the school honored for his support of Bulldog football. This is the same Doug Hindman who was busted in a Perverted Justice/NBC sting in 2006. A grand jury indicted him for "exploitation of a child" but he was allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of cyberstalking. Governor Barbour pardoned him during the last weeks of his reign in 2012.
Gulf Relay of Clinton sponsored the MSU-Arkansas game at Scott Field last Saturday. MSU referred to the company as a "partner" on Facebook.
The President of Gulf Relay, Doug Hindman, even got to glad-hand with the MSU brass on the turf of Scott Field in front of a packed house.
The scene was a far cry from what took place in 2006 in Hinds County. NBC and Hinds County deputies busted Hindman in 2006 after he attempted to meet what he thought was a 13 year-old girl. WLBT reported:
WLBT News went under cover over the weekend with the national on-line group, pervertedjustice.com.
The sting operation was designed to catch on-line sexual predators. This was carefully planned and executed. We worked in concert with the Hinds County Sheriff's Department and District Attorney's office.
This took place in a quiet Byram neighborhood off Siwell Road this past weekend. We were stunned at the volume of hits men made on our young decoys. A Perverted Justice operative from the Jackson area was with us, other volunteers assisted on-line nationwide. They posed as a 12, 13, and 14 year old girls home alone for the weekend.
We have chat-room logs showing men initiating a sexual liaison. That's when the young girl gives them her home address. Some suspects went much further than just chatting, they actually showed up at the Byram home.
With a span of 60 hours, 12 men from all walks of life and all ages showed up. Mississippi law states no one can use a computer to entice, seduce, or solicit a child for the purpose of engaging in sexually explicity conduct. They crossed the line when they did that "on-line." All 12 face felony exploitation of a child.
JJ reported in January 2012:
Mr. Hindman was indicted on February 8, 2007 for the charge of "exploitation of a child". The indictment states that during the week of July 7, 2006, heThe probation term was cut in half by none other than Gerald Jones, Jr., son of the former JPD cop. However, the lenient treatment did not end for Hindman. Lee and Maggi Lampton attempted to intervene with Governor Barbour on Hindman's behalf. R. L. Knave got his mitts on a letter written by the Lamptons and published it in the Jackson Free Press in 2012:
"wilfully, unlawfully, and feloniously by any means including computer knowingly entice, induce, persuade, seduce, solicit, coerce, or order an undercover operative posing as a child to meet with the said Douglas Hunter Hindman or any other person, for the purpose of engaging in sexually explicit conduct, in violation of Section 97-5-33, Mississippi Code of 1972".
Assistant District Attorney Allyson Nelson signed the indictment. Mr. Hindman paid a $50,000 bond and was represented by Joe Holloman. Judge Swan Yerger adjudicated the case. The charge was reduced to cyberstalking in a plea bargain. The plea bargain Mr. Hindman signed imposed a $5,000 fine, a suspended jail sentence of two years, and a probation term of five years.
Lee and Maggi Lampton, after thanking Gov. Haley Barbour and his wife, Marsha, for "a lovely and special lunch at the Mansion," wrote: "As you count down the last few days of your governor's term, we would like you to ask you to consider pardoning our friend Doug Hindman. We have known Doug through church since he was a young man. Over the years, we taught him in both in both Sunday school and youth group. We have watched him grow into a fine young man." Article.Hindman's father was a star running back at Ole Miss. The Governor pardoned Hindman, wiping his record clean.
If in doubt about what took place back in 2006, read the disgusting chat logs.
Oh well, at least no bulls were castrated.

The Network never sleeps.....
Maybe this exposure will finally get Cohen’s attention. Or Keenum’s. Needs immediate attention and corrective action.
Does every shady Mississippi story have to involve Boss Hog? He is so Ole Miss. He will be a perfect Chancellor for them.
John Cohen should resign. I'm a decades long State fan and it's been a two year long debacle with Cohen as athletic director. Cohen and his wife are big time lefties. They donated money to Hillary Clinton.
Like taxes, criminal statutes are for the little people.
I should clarify something. The political donation websites only list Nelle B. Cohen of Starkville Mississippi as donating money to Hillary in 2016, but it's no secret John Cohen's politics are the same as his wife.
7:30 am
Cynical but your statement seems to be true more often than not.
Doug is a pos generally. Hide your kids and hide your wife.
He makes little dickie Scruggs look downright angelic.
Hard to believe a fan, decades long or not, could care that much about an AD's politics, particularly in a case where it might just be that he couldn't force himself to support Trump as did a lot of Republicans. Regardless, I wouldn't care about an AD or coach or whatever who identified as a non Republican. It's a matter of whether or not they get their job done.
It is a sad indictment of our current society that you have to run a full background check on a donor before you can accept donations from them. Sad...
I don’t care who the Cohens vote for. I do care about taking money from Hindman
The real root of this whole issue is the fact that his 'dad was a star running back for Ole Miss'. And that's why Boss Hogg pardoned him.
I think it rather irrelevant that he attended Sunday School and Youth Group and always had one hand in his pocket.
Isn't it obvious Cohen knew none of this history on this Ole Miss alum? I get the story, but Why pull out the meat cleaver to butcher a guy who probably had no knowledge of this garbage?
In all fairness, I doubt Cohen knew any of this. I also don't see what his politics have to do with anything right now.
I'm still beside myself.
Contributions to State will probably increase now that folks know that the Cohen's are intelligent people
OK...I read the entire attached conversation record. I do wonder if Haley read it before pardoning him.
I also would like to know if the cop was masturbating while this chat series was ongoing. Asking for a friend.
Kewl. lol. Don't Hurt Me. I won't. I know the governor.
I don't care about taking money from Hindman, I care about who Cohen voted for,
What this person did 12 years ago is pathetic and worthy of a felony conviction, but it is even more pathetic for the Clarion-Ledger (and now Kingfish) to drag him back through the mud after he has put his life back together, built a successful company, and is contributing to society. This type of mud-raking is intended only to ruin a man's business and personal life and nothing else. This is not journalism. You should be ashamed.
Doug's company was honoring veterans. This seems like an unnecessary shot at him. Happy Thanksgiving!
Let's see, Mississippi's Republican, Ole Miss Good Ole' boy Guv pardons a rich sex offender because another rich, Ole Miss Republican asked him to, and people are made because the AD at State is a Democrat?
Normally, I would advocate for the restitution of a felon, but the only lesson this guy learned is that he can do whatever he wants.
But the finger pointing should again be at Republicans and the damage they've done to this State.
So let me get this straight... felon starts a successful business and just shouldn't give away any sponsorships?? Maybe he should just keep all the money if that would make y'all feel better.
8:40 when you have 100s of staff at your disposal, you should probably know who you publicly associate with in front 60K football fans.
That the stadium cups have a foul odor is a management problem. That the stadium bathrooms may not always be fully stocked is a management problem. Recognizing a baby-diddler (who many people had prior awareness of) is not a management problem.....it's a fireable offense.
State fan here. There is no defending this. Refund his money and disassociate him from the school. I don't think anything put all of that together when he donated money and if they did, I feel confident they would have told him to pound sand.
9:16, is that you Doug?
I had read the transcript of the phone call years ago but had forgotten how absolutely vile it was. He’s a sexual predator and was let off scott free. I’ve had harsher penalties for traffic violations. Absolutely unbelievable.
Leave this man alone! If he's a Christian & asked forgiveness from the LORD, who are we (flawed mortals) to question that decision or have a higher authority than GOD? Evil is Evil & can effect everyone & even objects (open manhole covers). Who is without sin cast the 1st stone! Do not trade evil for evil! I wish everyone on this blog a peaceful & wonderful Thanksgiving. May your troubles be less, & your blessing be more, & nothing but happiness come through your door. Irish Blessing
GFY, 9:33. Nobody forced Doug to cut a check in order to be honored PUBLICLY. He created this mess all by himself. Could've made Wingard Home's decade, privately, with the amount of money he spent to shake hands with Cohen and get his pic on Twitter. He deserves every bit of scorn thrown his way.
Also, I've read the transcripts. He should be in jail.
Signed,
The parent of a 13 year old daughter
I'm shocked he stayed in the Jackson area.
Sure God will forgive him but his fellow man will never ever get over this crime.
The only thing for him to do is relocate to a different side of the world and start over where no one knows him.
I really can't "put myself in his shoes" with regard to the offense, but I don't understand why he wouldn't just do the sponsorship and then trot out somebody else from Gulf Relay, rather than taking the field himself. Maybe he thought it was long ago and forgotten.
It is a shame that power and money have that kind of pull. It is also a shame that if someone gets a second chance and really changes they can't really ever put the past behind them in this digital world. This disappointment in this story is multi-faceted...
This story is why I hate this blog and I truly believe, that upon death, Kingfish is going to hell.
Doug never served a minute of time for a felony involving the discussion and attempted rape of a 13 year old girl.
That's right....she was 13.
If you have a 13 year old daughter and you think its OK for a 30 something year old to:
1) talk about screwing your 13 year old daughter;
2) get arrested for trying to screw your 13 year old daughter;
3) get pardoned by the damn governor after having been given the best plea deal known to man....for trying to have sex with your 13 year old daughter....
then feel free to comment.
Otherwise, STFU trying to stand up for such a putrid, pathetic piece of shit.
The fact that he was pardoned for what many are sitting in jail for, or have been, and who have their photos on the sex offender registry for the remainder of their life, is what is offensive.
There are others on the sex offender registry who have "found God", "become a Christian", for much less than what Doug did, but money always wins.
He is free to live his life and most certainly will one day return to what he did previously.
This creep found me on some Yahoo page years ago (before his arrest), found my address, and showed up unannounced at my house. Needless to say, I wish I had called the cops on him then. Instead, I answered the door and was shocked, and shut and locked the door. I'm sure I'm not the only one he did this to.
He's on Facebook with a very pretty wife and young son. She must be nuts.
Learfield Sports is who sells the sponsorships and the school has nothing to do with it. The school thanks all the sponsors like a gracious host. Not the schools fault but they are catching all the hell.
I have one question for all the Christians present on this blog, how is that judging thing going for you. Worry about your own house and keep your nose clean.
Once again, Doug's ego got the best of him. It was his ego that led him down to Byram that night to have sex with a thirteen year old and it was his ego that led him out on the field at MSU. He is a narcissist by every definition of the word. This is whatcha get, funjxn1. It's a tough world . . .
Hey, 10:15, not that it really makes any difference, but the "victim" of Mr. Hindman's sick, warped, un-fixable brain was NOT a 13 year old girl. The "victim" was an adult, law enforcement affiliated actor pretending to be a 13 year old girl. Now go back to watching Fox's coverage of the "invasion" from Central America.
Someone please do the research to determine the disposition of the cases of the other 11 people who were arrested in the same sting. Would be interesting to see if they got plea deals. Fairly certain none of them got pardoned by the governor.
You're adorable, 10:26. Did Doug think he was about to bang a law enforcement officer? Or did he show up in Byram ready to violate a 13 year old girl?
I'll hang up and listen.
10:26, he thought he was talking to a 13 yo.....it's the same thing. His mind is broken!!!!!
This story is why I LOVE this blog. The only unbiased source of non-watered down information.
This whole story is the perfect illustration of the unsolved dilemma facing our society today: Regarding crimes or bad acts committed in the past, do we forgive over time, or do we hold it against them forever, and what is a policy that can be applied to all, so as not to differ on a case-by-case basis?
This brings in Hollywood celebrities and political appointees (Kavanaugh) but it also touches local people like this guy.
I don't know the ultimate answer, but I do know that if I were Hindman, I would have avoided doing something that makes him or his company the center of attention, like sponsoring a MSU event. One can build and operate a successful company without promotions like this one. With Hindman's background, pardoned or not, he should have known to avoid this unnecessary public show.
10:26 AM
The girl Doug was talking to...in Doug's twisted mind reinforced by a naked photo...was a 13 year old girl you dipshit.
So go back to screwing your daughters 12 year old in your trailer.
Same Republicans Louie telling us not to support Trump were the same damn Republicans telling us that we had be party loyal and support Senator Geritol Cochran no matter how somnambulant and pork-addled he had become. Please, spare us the shade.
So...10:26 is one of those knuckle heads who will always say this is a victimless crime.
"Hey, 10:15, not that it really makes any difference, but the "victim" of Mr. Hindman's sick, warped, un-fixable brain was NOT a 13 year old girl. The "victim" was an adult, law enforcement affiliated actor pretending to be a 13 year old girl. Now go back to watching Fox's coverage of the "invasion" from Central America."
The simple fact that he thought he was interacting with a 13-year old girl, and went to meet a 13-year old girl, is sick enough.
This story is why I hate this blog and I truly believe, that upon death, Kingfish is going to hell.
You actually waste time reading something you "hate" AND contemplating KF's passing? How extremely sad that you choose to live in such a small little place.
This isn’t uncommon. Give enough money and you can buy favors from any university.
Since he's so close to Haley Barbour let's ask Bridgewater Mike Espy what he thinks about the pardoning powers of the Executive branch.
Douglas Hindman was the largest single donor to Jeff Weills campaign for Court of Appeals on the last filing with the Secretary of State on November 6.
9:16, "mud-raking?"
10:11 Then quit reading the blog and spend your time supporting your fellow Lobotomists Anonymous members.
This person has been one of the largest donators to Jeff Weills Court of Appeals campaign. Why will Jackson Jambalaya not publish comments on that? It can be easily verified on the Secretary of States website.
“Kingfish” publish the comments regarding Mr. Hindmans donations to and support of Jeff Weill, you cowardly excuse for a half assed journalist.
8:34 agree be careful who you get in bed with a/k/a take contributions from... for instance, JUDGE JEFF WEILL, candidate for MS Court of Appeals listed Hindman as a campaign donor in a report Weill holed today.... and, in the world of politicking, the donation of $2,500 was a substantial .... not to savvy to take dirt money from one who was arrested for trying to pick IP a 22 year old little girl... just looks bad and makes you question Jeff’s decision making skills... I guess money really is a great aphrodisiac...
The question raised by the CL and by KF by running this article deals with MSU accepting a donation from Hindman. Its not a question of what Hindman did, why he did it, or what kind of person he had to be at the time to commit such an act.
And its not about Barbour pardoning him. Just like the stupid crap Hindman did 12 years ago, the pardon was 7 years ago.
You want to bitch about either one - that's fine. Could have done it at the time, and many probably did. (Don't remember anybody bitching about our sorry a$$ DA that cut the deal keeping him out of jail, who is now running to be a Circuit Judge, but that's not surprising from those on this blog either.)
The question is - when, and how, are institutions supposed to background check each and every contributor to any cause nowdays - and what is the standard that should be created to decide which contributions to accept and reject.
Blaming Cohen, and Keenum, for accepting a sponsorship from a corporation in support of the Veterans Day program has pushed the limit. Or Learfield Sports just as well.
Run a background check on the corporation; then any and all corporate officers; and any current management; === where do you want to stop?
I knew of the Hindman family at the time of the sting, but didn't make the association then. If I heard the name "Doug Hindman" last week, I would never have placed the sting participants with the supporter of the Veterans' Day affair. How in the hell can one expect Cohen or Keenum to be held to a standard that would require this kind of research each and every time someone contributes to the University?
Has Jeff Weill cut ties with Mr. Hindman as MSU has done? Will he? Will Jackson Jambalaya have any modicum of integrity and publish comments regarding Hindmans donations to Jeff Weills campaign?
So they cut ties with Doug but they gonna keep his cash? Got it.
Never, ever use that dumb as shit we’re morally superior argument with a Rebel again.
4:06 pm
Simple answer: google.
It’s that simple.
4:06, this is stupid. He was recognized on the field, on the jumbrotron and on-air during a pregame radio broadcast. He was given the key to our great university Saturday morning. I'm beyond disappointed at MSU.
When a known sex offender is photographed with an AD before 60k football fans, someone needs to be fired.
So MSU has cut ties with Hindman. What about Jeff Weill? Will he return Hindman's fat donation?
The man screwed up and will feel the effects until the day he dies. He’s lucky this was a sting because he would have committed a crime ten fold to what he is accused of today. He made a horrific mistake but sounds like he repented. He deserves a second chance.
10:11 - Let me get this straight. Kingfish goes to hell for posting this story and you think this sick pedo is a good Christian who should get God's forgiveness and a pardon.
I sure wouldn't want you around my kids.
And then anvil falls from the sky and lands on your judicial runoff campaign campaign...people gonna be asking if da Judge knows the pardoned felon who makes it rain...
https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/local/2018/11/20/ms-court-appeals-candidate-jeff-wills-biggest-donor-douglas-hindman-pardoned-felon-msu/2070497002/
Judge Jeff Weill received $2,500 in campaign donations from Douglas Hindman, the pardoned felon who has come under scrutiny in recent days for taking part in a Mississippi State University event this weekend.
Weill, who is a Hinds County circuit judge, is in a runoff for a seat on the state Court of Appeals against David McCarty, who barely missed winning the Nov. 6 election out right. The runoff is Tuesday.
Surely it's not being suggested here that colleges thoroughly 'vet' sponsors and boosters before cashing their checks. That would put the concrete people out of business in Starkville and Oxford.
Go Dawgs!
Everyone here can STFU and get over themselves. This happened 12 years ago you freaking Baptist finger pointing hillbillies. Go find a rock to chew on and soothe your itchy flapping gums. Find something else to whine about. Doug doesn't care about your little peasant opinions. Buncha stupid peasants. Shaking my head
@10:28 ROTFLMAO Made my day.
"He made a horrific mistake but sounds like he repented."
It's my understanding that pedophiles, child rapists and those hooked on porn do not 'repent' and turn over new leaves. They just get better at disguises.
A quick review of his Facebook page reveals he's spreading his love around....several pictures of him at Ole Miss sporting his red and blue in Hotty Toddy true fashion. Perhaps they'll embrace his sponsorship. He and Freeze can share phone stories.

I agree with 10:28. Maybe the moralizing hypocrites need their own blog.

Very well said Anony 7:30!
It's a damn shame he isn't still in prison, where he needs to be. Sociopaths don't reform, they might refrain from further crimes when they learn they can't get away with it, but he will remain capable of doing the same thing or worse until the day he dies.
Just so we are all on the same page, Bulldog Properties, which is a Learfield Marketing Company, is owned by the Yates conglomerate, which also owns Superior Ashphalt, which is also named in a suit by the Fortner Family in the death of their daughter for the faulty repaving and manhole cover that killed her daughter.
7:20 - Let me be sure I understand your position on this. I think you're saying that we, as members of a civilized society, have no right to express our opinions of those who we think are repugnant, who don't follow the rules we set forth. We should not express ourselves but should just shut up and be quiet, and we should shelter our opinions and hide our thoughts under a bushel - otherwise we will be hypocrites. And if we speak out in defense of our children and our laws, we are simply moralizing, which is not allowed.
Is that a fair summary? But wait, one more thing...you said you agree with 10:28. I looked back to see what 10:28 said and found that he called us "freaking Baptist finger pointing hillbillies". So, please add that to my summary of your thoughts on this matter.
GTHOM!
wait a minute 8:36am.....are you telling me that there is a common thread running through the kemper power plant fiasco, the manhole murder and now this....and it is yates? wow.
"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
Technically, candidates for judicial office aren't allowed to directly accept campaign donations. So Jeff Weill didn't personally accept Hindman's donation - his campaign committee accepted it. It's possible that Weill didn't even know about the donation.
6:57 Thanks for reaffirming the small mindedness of so many leg humper fans. Somehow, you are trying to justify this situation by also tying this dude to OM. I suggest you get a life top spending so much of your time worrying about what the people at the school up north are doing.
I thought this was the North American Marlon Brando Look-alike Association.
1:36 - It was not I who 'tied this dude to OM'. I merely looked at his Facebook page and...VOILA...low and behold there he is in all his UMAA regalia cheering on the Bear-Shark-Rebs. So, before we condemn MSU for having some non-existent connection with this guy, let's look at the big picture.
Whether UMAA covets his donations and purchase of red and blue shirts is yet to be revealed.
@9:33 Felon Successful Business Rarely happens
takes money to make money
Buncha toothless finger pointing spineless hillbillies. Go ahead. Keep your lives focused on Doug. It helps you cope with your miserable POS existence. The truth is, you all hate yourselves more than you know. You are expressing your self loathe in the form of hatred for Doug. Jesus taught forgiveness. Maybe you should all that word up in a dictionary. That is, if you know how to read. Probably quite a few JPS grads here.
836 - you'really off on trail with no scent. Even if - which I believe you cannot do - you could show that Bulldog is a Yates Company, to try to connect this incedent to Fortner is ridiculous.
What pray tell is your basis for claiming Bl this Bulldog company is a division of Yates? Bet you can't respond.
Notice the guy who keeps using the word 'hillbillies'? Multiple poster. Family member?
4:40, multiple 'multiple posters' here. Some infatuated with David McCarty; others with Yates; trying to figure out ways to drag unrelated crap into this discussion.
But I am watching with baited breath to see how 8:36 can tie Learfield to Yates, as ask a few days ago. Guess he decided to drop that stinky red herring.
8:11 Poor thing... grasping.
I know Lee Lampton. Lucky sperm club. I never thought he was terribly bright.
Traveling and golf are his passions. Now they can add pedophile rehab to their resumes. Still surprised they intervened. Not surprised Bubba was receptive.
