Steve Mulkey was one of my teachers in the seventh grade. If your daughter was ever taught or coached by Mulkey, you need to read the petition for a court of inquiry that was filed today. Here’s an excerpt:
Steven Dale Mulkey began teaching and coaching in the Union Grove Independent School District in 1982. In his spare time (and even on work time), he was a sexual predator who targeted adolescent girls. Mulkey began sexually harassing and sexually molesting the Petitioners, who were students at Union Grove, when they were between the ages of 12 and 14. Mulkey grabbed the breasts and/or genital areas of the Petitioners and, in at least one case, engaged in sexual intercourse with a Petitioner. At all times relevant, the Petitioners were younger than 17 years of age.
Why is this coming up now? Because Mulkey recently was rehired by Union Grove. As the petition explains, we are looking for other girls and women who may have been assaulted, particularly in more recent years. If that describes you or someone you know, please contact me at 979-985-5289 (tyclevenger at yahoo.com), or Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd at 903-843-5513.
The Union Grove school board is scheduled to meet in special session on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. I don’t know any details other than what is available on the school district website, but if you want to follow this discussion in greater detail, please visit the special page at https://www.facebook.com/CoachSteveMulkey.
By the way, I’m aware of similar allegations against other teachers / coaches from the same time period. Some of them are still teaching and coaching. If you’re one of these men, you’d better pray that your victims don’t decide to go public. I have already heard from some of them.
Ty, you are always seeking to get the truth….your making a difference. I can see alot of interest in these rogue lawyers and the on the payroll judges. Godspeed
Ty, so happy to see that you’re still a modern day Knight in Shining Armor, galloping in to right wrongs. On another topic, I’d love to hear your take on the FL prosecutor in the Zimmerman trial who released info about a witness who was allegedly molested by Zimmerman when she was 6 and he was 8 years old.
I want to thank you for all you are doing on this…
I knew him real well. He was just a nice guy and good coach! This is a bunch of lies, why now????? That man and coach Lipsey use to sit in the stands and cheer me on at my basketball games ,which I started playing varsity ball my frshman year,because my parents never came to watch me play!!!!! How dare you the accuser!!!!!! Now telling lies and wanting to try and ruin a good mans life! I wanna know who you are so bad!!!!!
It is what it is. Maybe people did try and come forward but it was swept under the carpet. If you had a daughter that went through this and had to carry this on for the rest of their life because of inappropriate touching and some being molested and then threatened that if they told he would ruin you and your life and make threats of him knowing where you lived. There are so many more that are not coming out. To find out that there are some that were younger than our class, makes me sick! Tell me what would you do if you found out that something had happened to your daughter30 years ago or what if you found out that it had happened to you family member and she was scared to come forward. It was very well know of what he was doing but no one would do anything about it. Until you have walked in our shoes you will never know!
I so remember when this was goin on and nobody wanted to believe it. I am so sorry to all that had to go thru all this. Its horrible to think that these girls had to carry this with them for 30 years. Let justice be served…
I am shocked!
This is so unfair if this would have been my. Daughter I would have dared him to stop me nothing would have stopped me from getting him this community is so small people would have known to much gossip around here not to have known everybody knew about Jessica and Johnny and pullen and chad so it is strange to me no one knew this nobody or nothing would have stopped me this is to hard to believe
Sad part is that alot of people knew and is coming forward. I know about Jessica and Johnny and felt the same way as you. We were 12 and 13 year old girls we were going through so much change in our lives going from being a child to a teen and then having this thrown at us. Yes some of the people did try and come forward but it was swept under the rug. I now have a 13 fixing to be a 14 year old girl and I have to do whatever it takes to protect her. I’m not scared of him now.
I would have done something way back then I still think people would have known I have ask a lot of people and none of them knew he had a lot of people’s daughters I knew they knew nothing your daughter is safe I hope you don’t ruin his life where r the girls from other scholls
Why do people wait 30 years to do something about it now?
who did you tell? I want to know that answer???????
NAMES!!!!!!!!
Thats even if it happened at all!!!!! you know how a couple of these girls were in school if you know what I mean???????
Some did not wait 30 yrs… Some tried.. but it took him coming back to put it all together, and now they are all coming forth to stop him now… they have more girls coming forward and we are really hoping that he did not continue with what he was doing to more girls.
I can not believe Billy Byrd will not take the case. But it will taken by someone above him. This will be investigated and all alligations will be checked out… but I know for fact one alligation is TRUE…….
Sick bastard!!!
How can you know for a fact? did someone tell you its a bunch of he said she said BULLSHIT>
If it happened, it happened over thirty years ago and is beyond the statute of limitations. No one will be able to prosecute it.
No I have a family member that was abused by him. So it is not he said/ she said. So hold your comments till the truth comes out and they make judgements. These girls were 15 and 16. so I hope you never have to deal with something like this in your life… I am sorry you feel this way…
How can you write this on this blog and have no conviction? You are calling this man a sexual predator and or a sexual molester. I think you should get the fact before you go posting shit like this on this blog or this might bite you in the ass. This could destroy a man and his career. Mulkey was a person that I could turn to anytime I needed to talk to someone. Thank you I think you step over line by accusing him of this without knowing the facts. A little discrimination involed in this statement. I don’t even remember Shannon being around Coach Mulkey that much ever.
Why would the girls come forward now and sign a court petition? It’s because they have girls that are going to the school now. There is a guy that still works at the school that was asking sophomores out when he first got there. I told the principal at the time and they brushed it under the rug. The was married. The stories are true and they will come out I they take him to court. Ty is just posting what the court document reads.
Mike, I feel the exact same way, what happened to innocent until proven guilty… and why put it on facebook???? and then when people comment tell them to keep their mouths shut….
I agree that the handling of this information is extremely troubling! I would hate to know all investigations were done this publicly and feel this is why all people should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
Rusty you went to principal?
Why wait 30 yrs? I don’t believe a word of this!! Steve Mulkey is a great man/husband/father!! Just because people from union grove did not want him coaching there again they start lies like this!! Come on people back off and leave him and his family alone!!
Yea guess who was the principal ? I won’t say his name. I got licks for “making it up ” the girls wouldn’t come forward so I said something to the coach almost got in a fight with him and then I went to the principal should have told my dad but I didn’t think about it. He was the board pres at the time. He still worked for the School last year
Rusty if you went to the principal yhat means you were in the 6th grade. I was one year behind hernd and you was one year behind me. I dont know many 6th graders that can comprehend this type of situation. Just really hard to believe. And isnt there some ype of limitations?
Mike…I agree, it’s hard to believe. I am younger than you but I remember. No…there wouldn’t be any limitations. Just like the Sandusky case…people can wait decades to say anything.
I still dont tiink it is true
This was written by Carrie plasterer
Me either…but we will see what happens. I jus read the petition. I don’t even know the first girl…but Angie Douglas? Hadn’t even thought about her in decades. I find it hard to believe Coach Attaway, Coach Kalinec, Mr. Rose or any of them would have swept this under the rug. And if Coach Smith knew…I totally would think she would have protected the girls. I would have felt like I could have gone to her about anything…even this.
No I said a coach was asking sophomores out one of them was my girlfriend. They wouldn’t say anything so I did. Didn’t say it was mulkey one of them was mentioned by April.
From the eyes of one of Steve Mulkey’s former players…back off. There’s no reason to come forward and accuse someone like this man of something nobody can prove. One of his co-workers at Diana was arrested and prosecuted for the same exact thing that you are accusing him of. Steve was as disgusted as anybody else was. If people believe the slander and lies that they’re throwing on top of him, then they’re as simple-minded and idiotic as the attorney who agrees to prosecute him.
Witt, you know as good as me how much bullshit this is..
I know man. I just had to put my thoughts out there. Especially after what happened with Tiger
Jacob dont know you but Mulkey coached me in 82-88 and could not agree more.
It’s sad that it did happen and no one would do anything. It dosent matter why it took so long for the victim to come forward. The truth is what matters. I wish I would have said something but I didn’t. He never touched me but verbally made sexual comments. I think many of you guys will be shocked when it all comes to light.
I knew it!!!!!!!!!!! nobody is gonna take this 30 yr old bullshit!!!!!
Sorry it will be done.. He just excused himself from it as he is to close… Two different courts are opening investigations….
statute of limitions are up and your going to destroy a good man and coach over something thirty years ago. If I rember correct these girls listed didnt have the best reputation while we were in school. TAKE IT FOR WHAT ITS WORTH and i went to school with all of them. STILL BULLSHIT
I agree Mike!!!!!! Let them take alook at it! they prb wont take it either!!!! Been way to long and let them call in some of us that knew him and spent time with him!!!!
@Sabra, unless it was YOU that it happened to then you dont know anything for a fact. Coach Mulkey is a good guy this is just sickening that people are accusing him of such bs.
I really hope that neither one of you ever have a child and this happens to them… Because you would not want someone throwing up the rep as an excuse… So you have your opinion…And everyone is entittled to theres…
If the DA won’t even look at it, what does that tell you?
So your telling me someone tellinh me they woul
so your telling me its ok for a coach or teacher to tell me he would love to put his lips over every inch of my body is ok? NO Dana get over yourself. It is not right and you should be ashamed of yourself. Do you have a daughter? Would you let that happen to your child? I think not. You need to stop and think about what you say.
people came forward and nothing was done. That is wrong! Do really think that all of the women who have came forward have a reason other than justice? most of the victims havent even been in contact since high school.
You are not worth my time. FACTS are…he will finally have to answer to the horrible things he did to all of the victims. The majority of children who find them selves in this situation dont speak up. No i did not tell my mom. I wish now that I would have. People who act like you are part of why alot of victims dont come forward. The victim becomes the villian. Thats sad.
I can only hope that you show him this much anger when its proven. I promise you it will!
Wow you show such class. Just so you know, I could care less what you think. Its been to long to do anything about what he did to us back then. The purpose is to find other victims. So please take your rude, ugly and missinformed comments somewhere else.
How can you spread lies about a great coach when you have no proof!! All of us in the ER household are on your side!! And to whoever is running this site please do not delete my post this time!! Thanks!!
Thanks for proving my point for me.
That is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve know that family for about 12 years and I can’t ever imagine him doing that.
I know Rachel!! It’s crazy. He’s a great man. I hate that these lies are being spread!!
Melissa, the person taking all the cheap shots was blocked a while ago. I’m not sure she’s playing with a full deck. Anyway, only the people on her FB page and the people who post in this string will see what she is ranting about.
Nobody has deleted any of your posts. Only one person has been blocked, and obviously that’s not you.
Carrie, I am with you !
As depicted earlier in my very first comment..obviously you are deleting comments that make the most sense……
thanks ty
Pages like this are why people make up jokes about attorneys. I have never seen a legit attorney have to set up this kind of page. Yes, I saw the petition and it will be up to the courts and God almighty to decide the truth of the allegations, which is exactly what they still are, ALLEGATIONS. Keep that in mind before you pass judgement on any individual.
Ms. Fritz, even though it seems Mr. Clevenger believes in civil rights, maybe he does not think you have the right to the 1st Amendment.
Wow. And you accuse other people of making accusations without evidence? Dana Praznik-Bush is the only person who has been blocked. In the legal world (and the civilized world generally), you cannot excuse sexual misconduct by accusing the victims of being sluts. I am ashamed of the fact that I grew up in a community where so many ignorant hayseeds fail to understand this.
Again, Ty you are exercising your lack of knowledge ( in civilized world it is called ignorance) by trying to accuse me of saying that sexual misconduct should be excused in the realm of the victims being sluts…please don’t put words in my mouth along with actions their character will prevail.
Some people are not happy in their lives, never have been & want to make everyone else miserable!
OMG what a total psycho….
this is crazy…Zach loved coach Mulkey and really learned from him…he can spit out history dates and events like crazy…he said he taught in a manner that you would remember and he got the kids attention without being a jerk…sorry to hear of this trouble…hope it gets resolved soon!
Why did I get blocked? Becasue I speak the truth. Thank you must have voted for Obama, he believes in taking away the right of Americans too.
Why is everything missing that defends Steve Ty I would never call these girls names I have know them for years but I also have known him for years so I do have the right to my opinion I think there is a lot more to the story you have not been around these women for 30 years so i wouldn’t say you really know them now you call our community hay seed you are from the same community people change
Maybe something is wrong w/ Facebook, because I have only blocked one person, and that’s Dana. I deleted one comment from another person who accused the victims of being a slut, but I have not blocked any of his other comments. If somebody is having trouble posting something, let me know and I’ll post it for you.
Marsha if you knew this why didn’t you tell if all you care about is yourself and your kids then you are just as wrong Melissa did those supposed words ruin your life pleaseeee I think you did that yourself why didn’t you tell y’all are all sticking together remember about lying in court this could cost y’all too why not tell your parents my daughter would have
Linda my life is just fine thank you! I have been married almost 25 years and have 3 wonderful children. My oldest is a Marine, my other son works for GE and my daughter is in nursing school. I am the first to admit I have made mistakes in my life. No one is perfect. I have never once said he ruined my life! I said what he did was wrong. You can continue to make hurtful remarks about me. I don’t really care. I just hope other victims dont choose to not come forward because of the
Hey teach your kids that they can tell you anything and let them know that our guns are bigger and then we would not have 30 years before something like this comes to light. My kids could and would tell me anything. Make sure they know you will stand behind them.
“I am ashamed of the fact that I grew up in a community where so many ignorant hayseeds fail to understand this”- Ty Clevenger…. admittance is your first step to healing your youth feelings…so appropriate in this situation. You are ashamed of your past and the anger has overcome you and you are striking out at any and everything just to attempt to gain some attention and worth. That is a shame, and I am sure that the vast majority of the community is very ashamed of you as you represent a minute few people in these mere allegations. Your unprofessionalism, your loss of integrity, and your double standards have made this site a joke. You said that you deleted comments of people calling these girls “sluts” but in your own blog you refer to Coach Mulkey as a sexual predator and sexual molester and you paint the picture that he spends all his time preying on young girls……Why delete the comments revealing the girls involved but you are able to call Coach Mulkey those names?
Jana, I’m sorry you are so bitter. It’s sad to see a woman in her 40s who is still stuck in her high school years, bragging about being a cheerleader, etc. You’ve ranted and raved enough, and now you’re blocked. Have a nice life.
I have known Ty my entire life. I have also followed Ty for the past three years on a case where a child was being sexually abused. He endured to the end. The child was finally removed from her abusive father and returned to her mother. Ty has extensive knowledge in this area. This is very hard for him. This is a very serious and sensitive topic for anyone especially Ty. He isn’t just thinking about the potential victims, he is also thing about the accused. Ty has integrity that 90% of all attorneys do not have. In my opinion, I feel the only way to help this situation is to pray for all parties involved including the judge, the possible jury and the families involved. We have to pray for God to show us the TRUTH. Ty isn’t standing back hoping this man is guilty. He is looking for the truth.
Often, it is the one who seems least likely to have perpetrated such an atrocity that is actually the guilty party.
Shannon, stand strong and the truth will come out, this was happening and just because no one new is because of the threats. all child molesters threaten their victims that is why so many get away with this shit, i have 2 daughters and strongly agree that this should be brought out and the truth told.
Marlene you hit the nail right on the head. Thank you so much!
TY, Really? Can you not find a more constructive way to use your law degree? Thank God Billy Byrd has enough common sense to know abunch of B.S. when he sees it. And I am not at all saying it did or did not happen. I am however saying that if this was handled by a different lawyer other than you, it would be taken more seriously.
Girls can always refuse……and thirty years ago? Sounds as if some former sluts are trying to start something.
Makes you wonder why the girls didn’t just say “no”. I’m sure thirty years ago this was a young handsome coach in his 20’a and , as we know, there are sluts in all schools…..not saying this happened, but just saying.
Taylor Ammons, a 2006 graduate of Stephen F. Austin, just got blocked for acting like white trash.
Dana..I am not taking sides at all on this case. I didn’t know Steve Mulkey so it would be unfair for me to assume the worst where he is concerned. Ty is a personal friend of mine just as you are. I am sure that your emotions are real since you knew this man and I do respect your opinion. I respect Ty’s opinion also. I am just going to pray for everyone and hope that only the truth will be known just as I stated in my post.
Thank you you should have known opening this up to a social page like facebook you would get some hateful comments or did they teach you that in law school.I hope Scrappy Holmes takes your ass to school in that courtroom.Do you have some type of grudge against him for not allowing you to play any sports or something. I don get it at all. It seems like all this comes down to is some type of GRUDGE from a long time ago.You were around in this time and I bet you didn’t hear anything like this going on. I was close to Mulkey and went on trips with this man and never once did I see or hear anything. You should have thought about this a little more before posting on facebook. I guess once a JACKASS always a jackass. All lawyers are dirty. All they look for is money not matter who’s life they destroy. I can honestly say Union Grove is not proud of what you have become.
I hope your attorney skills turn out to be better than your BLOCKING skills!
From most of what I’ve seen from Union Grove’s finest… I might put “Union Grove is not proud of what I’ve become” on my business cards.
You kind of lost me there Mike. I can stay neutral and still disagree with ranting comments. I was around to at that time and do not remember anything being said or done. I have even been to his house a time or two. Your acting like he was related to you or something. I liked him also but I was not with him every second of his life to know what he may or may not have done. I know there were people at Penn state that would never have thought it was possible. You said you went on trips with him and that’s cool- maybe we didn’t have the equipment he liked. The fact is who knows who is right or wrong I cannot say. If they called me into court I would have to say I never knew of anything that happened but I couldn’t have an opinion in court only what I knew. There have been some things Ty has done I do not agree with and have said my peace but how can it be a grudge if they came to him with this problem, wouldn’t you try to help a friend if they came to you with a problem? Again I do not have a stance one way or the other. I feel the truth will come out and I certainly hope it’s not true because I would hate to think someone I looked up to was capable of that.
Im In shock. Im angry. Im sad. Praise you for your courage. I knew you as ug classmates and I believe in you & im so very sorry.
I believed in him as a coach & teacher. Omg!
Didn’t mean he never tried something with any boys so lets stop that now. I am saying I went on scouting trips while in Jr.high. we would go watch the game of our next weeks opponents . That’s what I ment I never heard anything at all. Around him for a total of six years.
I didn’t say he did try anything with boys. I just meant that he was around you and me alot but if he did do things with young girls that we wouldn’t know because we had the wrong equipment. Would he really tell us his inner most secrets if there was one. I have agreed with some of the things you have said but yet agreed with others also about people that come from abused situations. It’s a sad situation all the way around. I am glad you have the guts to defend what you think is right but others have the right to do the same I guess. You were always someone I looked up to growing up. I just didn’t fully agree with some of the comments made in this last post but I guess that’s what makes the world go around- people entitled to their views. Like I said I hope the truth comes out in the end I just hope your not disappointed if it is true and I’m not saying it is.
So, by that logic, would that make Ty Clevenger the perpetrator?
I had a art teacher at Highland M.S. in Ogden and went through similar stuff. I saw so many things that this teacher would do and get away with that made me sick. So what if it was 10, 20 or 30 years that these girls came forward and I have read where no one wants to judge the perp. but are quick at judging his victims. This is why so many get away with this because people put blinders on and attack the victims. Where you there? Did you see it happen? If it was maybe one coming forward I may would wonder but when you have others coming forward, I believe I would be opening my eyes more and listening.
