Mingo’s attorney, Lukas Garcia, had this to say:

“At this stage, our side has very limited information, What we do know is these allegations are from over two years ago and are completely untrue. Mr. Mingo is the victim of a false claim, and we believe this is motivated by money or some other ulterior motive.”
