JSU President resigns.
Over the weekend (February 7-8), Clinton Police Detectives conducted a prostitution sting. Contact(s) with offenders are made online through “dark web” sites, services and location at a local hotel were agreed upon.
The two day operation resulted in seventeen (17) arrests with eight felony charges. The arrests spanned multiple charges including prostitution, procuring the services of a prostitute, promoting prostitution, conspiracy to promote prostitution, and various controlled substance violations.
Arrested/Charge(s):
William Bynum Jr., age 57, of Jackson, Mississippi: Procuring Services of a Prostitute, False Statement of Identity, and Simple Possession of Marijuana.
Shonda McCarthy, age 46, of Jackson, Mississippi: Procuring Services of a Prostitute and Possession of Marijuana while Operating a Motor Vehicle.
The Clinton Police Department did not identify any patterns or activity to suggest that prostitution or human trafficking is prevalent in Clinton.
The Clinton Police Department takes human trafficking seriously and encourages anyone who might information pertaining to human trafficking to contact CPD or CRIMESTOPPERS with tips for further investigation.
National Human Trafficking Hotline 1-888-373-7888.
Kingfish note: Dr. Bynum is the President of JSU. Ms. McCarthy is the Director of the Art Gallery. Sawces say they were both trying to secure the services of the same prostitute.

Clinton has been lost for a while. They just refuse to accept it.
What's wrong with trying to get a little trim on the side?
He and Hugh Freeze have lots in common.
oh boy!
Looks like JSU president got lost in the sauce.
who cares
At least he was enjoying the company of an adult female and not a trafficked child.
Threesome?
Were they together?
No, this must be fake
"Sawces say they were both trying to secure the services of the same prostitute."
Well at least SOMEBODY in this story was attempting to be
EEOC compliant!
Gives new meaning to JSU's slogan........"The I Love".
He gone y’all! He gone!!!
Now let’s see how much money Shad can find out these two took....drums are beating.....the natives are restless.....
10:34 - well, you might not care but evidently some folks do.
The JSU Prez just resigned from his position as the leader of the young men and women enrolled in what is now his "former" university.
Per JSU's website:
A God-loving, God-fearing man, he is married to Deborah Elaine Bynum, a manager and 37-year employee with AT&T. They are the proud parents of six children – Tyrone (a student at Columbia University); Tyler (a student-athlete graduate of Truett-McConnell College); Chelsea (a graduate of Clark Atlanta University and an Army reservist); Zack (a graduate of Morehouse College and master’s graduate of Georgia Tech); Jordan and Jazz (junior at Georgia State University).
Bynum’s personal and professional motto is “Look back and thank God. Look forward and trust God. Look around and serve God. Look within and find God.”
Resigned
Okay, I'll say it:
The fact that he was stupid enough to do it --knowing that it is currently illegal-- obviously disqualifies him from the job.
But if an adult wants to pay another adult for sexual services while enjoying a little weed, who in the hell cares? Why should we spend a single taxpayer dollar to prevent that?
He was recently honored on the floor of the Ms Senate.
I wonder when the Senate will have him back?
Just furthering his education... although now unemployed, he's A HELL OF A LOT SMARTER TODAY!!!
Give somebody federal grant money for overtime and suddenly it’s the topic of the day. This is the world’s oldest profession. Not trafficking. We aren’t in Thailand. No different that a seatbelt or DUI operation, throw overtime money at an agency and people get locked up for a nuisance crime.
Why was CPD involved in this and not JPD? Was the "local hotel" located in Clinton?
11 AM Newsflash:: Dr. Bynum President of JSU resigned! WAPT.
Just following the example set by Dr Lewis Nobles of MC...
Did Clinton PD post the ad on the internet to entice those arrested?
Legalize and tax it, just figure out where to put the government inspection sticker. MDAC can handle the oversight, as well as advertising it as Homegrown Mississippi.
Pussy! Damn.
Fat rabbit is the undefeated, untied, undisputed cham-peen of ALL TIME!
He should’ve been with Robert Kraft or down in Mar-A-Largo one weekend and he would still have a job....
Gotta love his motto, and the talk about 'god fearing'
all a bunch of bologna...how long had this been going on? whole life likely..
Married man and father of SIX decides to get caught getting a hooker, with a coworker, and in possession of weed. What an absolute moron. Now he’ll probably get divorced and she’ll take half. What a complete failure of a man.
Clinton is lost? What does Clinton have to do with this? Other than there are still hotels open in Clinton. You think these same operators don't rent rooms in other towns?
Good job CPD.
More like "Three I Love", 11:02 am.
What dark site(s) exist still these days? Backpage is gone (not really a dark site), the dark web is not very navigable. I can't believe he had an onion browser or anything.
So, Clinton PD said that there was no evidence of human trafficking...which brings my next question: Has there been one human trafficking case to come out of these stings yet? I am also reminded of Robert Kraft..
The college board thrust this numbskull on JSU because they wanted someone who would be so beholden to them he would do anything, anything, they said and not "rock the boat". They found their man. The JSU nation is happy tonite.
These are the best of days to own a political blog covering state and local news in Jackson, Mississippi.
If they are clean and smell good hair did POLiCE,if you smell them when you roll down your window HOHO be smart .
That was some expensive tail and weed. The good doctor was making $375,000 per year!

Getting access to the dark web is not as simple as just logging onto a site; it requires someone to give an access account or url. The average person has no way to get on the dark web because they don't know criminals who already have access. It also requires a special browser.
The Associated Press has picked up the story, and it's now national news.
I have a friend who says...." If they bait the trap with pussy they will catch me every time". Case closed.
Only his big brain benefited from that PhD, not his little brain, which was calling the shots.
I don't think that this was their first rodeo.
What goes around comes around IHL Board. Ha Ha.
JSU Alumni
I once downloaded an onion browser Tor, because I wanted to download music and movies for free. I was told this was the best way to anonymously do it. I never could figure it out and I am sure I was put on some government watch list in the process.
Remember when you could just pull up to the corner of Capitol and Farish and just pick up a hooker? I'm referring to last week when I did. Come on, Prez!
Didn’t he work as an assistant with Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss??
You have to give some credit to the JSU students and alumni that had the intelligence and foresight to protest this IHL
Hiring. Was the new Ole Miss chancellor and a Ford Dye involved in this hiring too? Foreshadowing of bad things to come for UM.
Not the best look for the IHL. Did they even bother to call references?
I think all of our universities could do a much better job of conducting their own president searches rather than the IHL doing them.
Pretty crazy that the prez of JSU has stricter requirements than POTUS.
The ignorance of some of the commenters here approaches that of the commenters on the Clarion Ledger posts.
He should have denied it and refused to participate in the arrest.
Worked for dump
KF Your headline should have been "Sex, Drugs, and the IHL" JSU had nothing to do with this bozo. The college board's efforts to dismantle JSU took a hit. They will try, try, again.
The IHL hired this man from a college of around 200 students to lead JSU. Why? The students did not want him; the alumni did not want him; employees at JSU did not like him. ent to one function at JSU and did not like his blatant use of his Christianity and begging everyone in the audience to pray for him.
The IHL should be ashamed of itself. Many people in Jackson, black and white, have worked to make JSU a better place for all of Jackson. IHL got rid of the two Presidents who were accomplishing and building a better University. Now who will they place in charge and will that person be able to clean up the mess IHL forced on JSU?
and I thought I was having a bad day
A deaf dog lay down to sleep next to a train track, but the end of his tail lay across one of the rails. When a train came thru, it severed the end of his tail. Now awake, the dog turned to see what caused his sudden pain. Then the next wheel hit his neck. Moral of the story? Never lose your head over a little piece of tail.
Shad White please look into this ,see if public funds were involved.
3:58 - two previous presidents that were "bettering" JSU!
Did you mean to say "breaking" - as in "financially bankrupting" JSU as the previous president did? The same president that did nothing to better the school other than to fire several folks that caused that bunch of students to protest?
Yes, its always the current guy that was the mistake, not the one that left under a cloud. You act as if all the students and alumni loved the last two (which wasn't the case at all, as was shouted from the rooftops at the time they were in office) and all hated this hire.
Seems to me I remember the students wanting "one of our own" to be their president when Dr. Myers left - having spent all the available cash before departing. So, the IHL gave them "one of their own" - and now you are claiming that wasn't good enough either.
Its nothing new - students always want to bitch and moan, unless they can be allowed to run the school like they want it, thinking the only purpose and concerns are the here and now - today matters, don't give a damn about historical concerns (and the grads/alumni that composes that group of supporters); and thinking about tomorrow is never in a 20 year old's mind.
Go back and check all the news reports about the possibility of JSU's having to take bankruptcy during those last few months of Dr. Myers and then come back and tell us again how great she was.
Wake up. The IHL hired this man not just once, but twice. At Valley and at JSU. No way he wakes up one morning and decides to get a hooker and some weed. The incompetence of the IHL continues to show. This is a political appointed bunch of dumb ass who know somebody and/or have money. Let’s do what every other state does. Each university has its own board. Each board hires its own president. The legislature would be featured by law to distribute an even percentage amount of dollars to each university budget.
3:58. JSU was on suspension for academics by SACS numerous times. It’s a wonder the place hasn’t shut down over the academic issues yet.
Pilot program for a new school Curriculum. Just working out the humps and bumps. Imagine if the JSU Campus in Madison was still open, they could locate the classes there. In Jackson or Canton, no one would ever known this happened.
Individual Boards of Regents instead of the IHL makes sense to me. Of course, that would require some office holders to give up power and favors to dole out and/or outright sell.
The ability to let go of power and money has never been a strong point of said office holders, so I don't hold out much hope for it happening, unless the voters demand it as a condition of gaining/staying in office.
https://mississippitoday.org/2017/05/23/jsu-alumni-challenge-presidential-selection-process/
The IHL needs to answer to this.
5:57 JSU has the same accreditation status with SACS as Ole Miss, MSU, and USM (6) and has not been on academic probation although people like you would love to make up facts to shut it down. Don't worry, crawl back in your hole, the college board will do the dirty work.
This was a bad appointment from the start. He was not one of us! Although he was not a JSU Alumni his actions demonstrate JSU was never in his heart. He could not become what was never in him i.e. to be a true Jacksonian! Since Valley (where he came from) is a small community maybe he could get away with these types of activities. His conduct cannot be new, this is something he had to feel comfortable doing and got caught. Yes, we have had a number of Presidents to be replaced but never anything like this! So, I say don't bring this to our University. JSU has made many outstanding contributions to the local/surrounding communities and has developed successful students who continuously served throughout the country/all over the world. So negative comments regarding our institution should have been shutdown because of academics serves no purpose except to foster ignorance regarding the many successes/accomplishments of this Great University. It is apparent the IHL did not fully vet this President and made this placement in defiance of input from JSU Alumni and/or the local Community. Now their forced placement which was not a good fit for the University has backfired! What's your next step IHL? We must get this right for the sake of our current/future students and continuing to foster/protect the outstanding Legacy of this GREAT institution! Go JSU!!!!!!!!!
What is the dark web ?
A web of darkness.
This is some hot fucking tea tonight
6:32, wait, the Madison campus of JSU closed? And Tulane also? Well at least we have Holmes CC and Phoenix.
Run an ad luring people to your city to break the law. Piss on the Clinton popo dept.
The shit eating grin on the Clinton P.D. officers face as he elaborates the particulars to the judge along with the fat redneck looking guy behind and to the right of the officer at the beginning of the video are classic Mississippi. No doubt in most peoples mind is that the Brother and Sistah are guilty as hell,and the black folk be sayin' this mornin'--and he was smokin'that weed too,damn,brother knows he resigned on time.
It's the lead story on Yahoo News this morning.
7:13 AM, I agree. I never understood why police should invent situations where people get arrested.
IHL needs to be dissolved. Better yet, get Shad White to audit them. Members will be dropping left and right after that!
WOW, aggregator Yahoo News has the story. Now that is big news. WOW WOW WOW
From the JSU Alumni, We told you so!
What evidence do you clowns have that 'the police invented' this situation. It exists with or without the police. Yet you applaud when the same happens to child predators using the internet.

9:44 AM, I don't really think this stuff exists in real life without the police. Too many meth head prostitutes for JSU presidents to be interested in them. It all works itself out. Only the good looking women selling themselves in Jackson are working for the Po Po.
His little brain was writing checks that his big brain couldn't cash trying to buy white 'tang.
Well, that didn't take long:
https://www.foxnews.com/us/mississippi-jackson-state-university-president-resigns-prostitution-sting-arrest
7:56 a.m. describes what he calls "classic Mississippi," which he then declares this is "No doubt in most peoples mind." No, 7:56, that's what's in YOUR mind.
All this attacking of the authorities and claiming he was just a misunderstood, entrapped black man and everybody is out to get JSU...reminds me of all the clown-alumni of Ole Miss supporting and explaining away the behavior of the deviant Hugh Freeze. He could not possibly have done wrong since he was winning. And they still would hire him back today.
By the way, 6:32, there IS no Madison JSU campus. In fact there
WAS no JSU campus in Madison when the school pretended to have classes there. Just a few rooms in those God-awful looking twin structures back behind Burger King (which served as the school's cafeteria).
Close JSU down and make it a branch of Alcorn.
And you can betchur ass, 75% of the JSU alumni are today saying, "What? All this over a little pussy and weed?"
For those of you who seem to be offended by an agency setting up a system whereby those with criminal intent can allow themselves to fall into a trap....What's your thought on the feds or the state setting up nationwide websites that catch adults in pursuit of sex with children? Adults are arrested every day in every state for their criminal intentions involving sex with minors. And they are sentenced to jail as a result.
Are you seriously suggesting the local police have no right to be proactively involved or intercede unless they stumble across these rendezvous at the 7-ll or over-hear it at Outback?
2:44 You might want to get some help. Creating narratives and citing facts and statements which do not exist in order to justify your own inner hatred should be cause for alarm. JSU alumni were never satisfied nor particularly supportive of this appointee and can only pray for his family. Statements like yours only add to the long held sentiment that JSU and it's location has been too long viewed by many as a threat and not an asset. Get help.
How can JSU be viewed as a threat? To whom? Well, other than Southern on game day.
@2:44PM
You're, either silly, slow or stupid with this comment: "Close JSU down and make it a branch of Alcorn."
FORESIGHT:
Bynum is who and what JSU alumni thought and students protested to IHL he was - charlatan, hypocrite and divested from the advancement of our university from the start.
FOOLERY:
But for you to ever think that JSU would be closed or combined with Alcorn, you must've supplied Bynum and McCarthy with their drugs.
How would that work exactly? The branch campus's, JSU, per your suggestion, enrollment would be greater than Alcorn's, the main campus?
Perhaps, winning SWAC football championships has given the Alcorn faithful a superiority complex, when in reality you're only decent at that one thing . . . football. So, please stay off Hwy 80 and JR Lynch by maintaining your lanes down Hwy 61 and 18 or the Natchez Trace.
#THEEILOVE from a Claiborne/Jefferson county native!
At least the dude read the menu and knew what he paying for . . .
That's a lot less expensive than taking someone to an overpriced restaurant for a month and not even being guaranteed dessert.
As far as weed, if he was not impaired to drive . . . no issue there either.
The dude screwed up when he tried to do this shit within a few miles of his office.
I'm sure he could have arranged a better "experience" in NOLA, Mam'phiz or Atlanta.
Lol. In Clinton, the dark web equals skipthegames
4:56 You're right. The college board has done it's part in stripping it of it's potential. The rest has been done by the failing city of Jackson. But for years JSU was NOT losing enrollment and Jackson was a prime location for expansion. It was that apparent potential that constituted a threat to the sacred cows. The threat is greatly diminished.
The police set up sting operations all the time, usually for vice related crimes like prostitution, drugs, or alcohol; but also for things like illegal gun sales or child sex trafficking. It is a perfectly legal way to enforce laws that are typically broken in very private transactions where the police otherwise have no probable cause to target a specific individual.
Is there any real difference between having a female officer pose as a prostitute on the street corner and arrest a john when they proposition cash-for-sex and having a female police officer pose as a prostitute in an online ad and arrest a john for the exact same offense when they show up at the arranged meeting?
Personally I support the legalization of prostitution, but until that happens the police are going to have to dangle bait to catch people either buying or selling sex. To deny them this option would make enforcing one-on-one vice crimes virtually impossible. How would you ever catch a drug dealer, a bootlegger, a gun runner, or a child sex trafficker if a police officer was prohibited from posing as one of the people involved in the transaction?
Funny how the JSU Alum come out of the woodwork screaming, "He ain't one of us and we never wanted him from the get-go". Not a one of them says who he/she would have preferred. Chuck Profitt?
Nearly all men...can stand adversity...but if you want to test a

The biggest issue is that he's a LIAR & CHEAT.
LIED about his identity and LIED/CHEATED on his wife & family.
This guy's not a man -- he's a 2" tall scumbag... shouldn't try to mingle amongst real men.
Unfortunately, he'll probably get picked up by another fine institution that won't care to uncover (or will overlook) his character of being a LIAR & CHEAT.
