Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach faces charges of pimping and possession of drugs and firearms

A pimp whose sex worker allegedly advertised on social media that she was willing to be anything from "arm candy" for a party to a "no strings attached girlfriend" has been charged with a slew of criminal charges in Kern County Superior Court.

The alleged pimp, Kevin Mays, was an assistant men's basketball coach and former player at Cal State Bakersfield.

Mays faces 11 charges, including pimping, possession of automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines, and possession of methamphetamine and marijuana with intent to sell. An investigation by the Bakersfield Police Department also led to separate charges citing Mays for possession of more than 600 images of youth or child pornography and distribution of obscene matter involving someone younger than 18.

Mays, who was arrested in September 2025, is being held without bail. He has pleaded not guilty, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 13 .

The case,first reportedby Shwetha Surendran of ESPN, has upended the athletic department at CSU Bakersfield. Longtime basketball coach Rod Barnes and athletic director Kyle Condor have left their jobs, and Condor filed a lawsuit against the school alleging wrongful termination, according to court documents obtained by The Times.

CSU Bakersfield officials said the allegations against Mays did not involve a student. Nevertheless, the school formed a commission to examine the athletic program and recommend changes.

"When CSU Bakersfield received an anonymous report in August of 2025 that a member of our coaching staff was engaged in human trafficking, we took immediate action in notifying university police and the Bakersfield Police Department," the school wrote in a statement. "Both agencies launched investigations that resulted in an arrest within days. Shortly after, the university terminated the coach.

"But the nature of the allegations devastated our campus community. We seized the opportunity to strengthen education and prevention efforts around human trafficking. To that end, we consulted with a local human trafficking expert and offered training and education focused on awareness and prevention for our campus community."

Police said the alleged victim is 23. In the advertisement she posted last summer, she stated that she charged $300 for a half hour and $500 for 60 minutes. Authorities conducted a sting operation in September, arranging to meet her in a hotel room that Mays rented.

In an interview with police after the operation, she referred to Mays as her boyfriend and said he paid for her travel accommodations in Oregon, Washington and Nevada in addition to California.

Those locations were listed in an anonymous email to Barnes last fall titled "IMPORTANT MESSAGE 911 911."

"HE IS TRAFFICKING A GIRL BY THE NAME OF [redacted]," the email read, according to police records. "HE HAS BEEN TRAFFICKING THIS GIRL SINCE MAY."

Barnes turned over the email to university police, who attempted to contact the sender and received a subsequent email, according to ESPN. The tipster claimed to have known the alleged victim and Mays through previous travel for sex work. The person said Mays presented himself as a professional gambler and allegedly threatened to take away the tipster's child if the person exposed his activities.

Mays, who was born in Queens, N.Y., attended high school at St. John's Military Academy in Delafield, Wis., and played at Odessa Community College in Odessa, Texas, before transferring to CSU Bakersfield ahead of the 2014-2015 season.

"We are excited about signing Kevin as he fits our culture,"Barnes said of Maysat the time.

A year later, as a senior forward, Mays helped CSU Bakersfield to a 24-10 record and scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds inthe Roadrunners' first-round NCAA tournament lossto Oklahoma. He later returned to the school as a player-development coordinator.

In his application for the player-development position in 2019, Mays wrote that he was motivated by helping players improve on and off the court, according to school records obtained by ESPN.

"I gained lots of experience dealing with learning to lead young men and help them navigate the Division I experience in a successful manner," Mays wrote. "CSUB helped me tremendously, and I look forward to giving back."

Barnes was Mays' coach, and he hired his former player last fall, paying him $3,000 a month. Now, Mays is in jail awaiting trial and Barnes is unemployed.

"The safety and well-being of our students and all CSU Bakersfield community members remain our highest priority," the school said in its statement. "This work is sustained every day by the dedication of our faculty, staff and students. Their commitment to one another and to our shared values strengthens the culture of care and accountability we strive to build at CSUB."

Like father, like son: Lucas Ramirez homers for Brazil in WBC with dad Manny Ramirez watching

HOUSTON (AP) — Manny Ramirez hit plenty of home runs in his 19-year major league career — 555, to be exact.

WBC United States Brazil Baseball

On Friday night at Daikin Park, the 12-time All-Star relished watching someone else go yard when his son Lucas Ramirez hit a leadoff homer for Brazil against the United States in theWorld Baseball Classic.

Like father, like son.

The 20-year-old sent Logan Webb's second pitch into the seats in right field to cut the Americans' lead to 2-1 after Aaron Judge hit a two-run shot in the top of the inning.

"I was looking forward for him to do something special," Manny Ramirez told The Associated Press. "So, he's been working so hard all year round and I'm proud of him."

Lucas Ramirez is playing for Brazil because his mother, Juliana Ramirez, was born and raised in Sao Paulo. She was at the ballpark Friday night and beamed after her son's big hit.

The younger Ramirez was a 17th-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels in the 2024 draft and he spent last season playing in class A, batting .266 with three homers, 30 RBIs and six stolen bases.

He also played for Brazil in the 2026 WBC qualifiers and went 5 for 13.

Manny Ramirez, a two-time World Series champion and the 2004 World Series MVP, would have been thrilled to see his son homer against any team, but it made it more special for him to do it against one of the top teams in the tournament.

"Oh yeah, they're No. 1," he said.

And he thinks the big hit will give his son a boost for the upcoming season.

"It's going to be more special for him because that's going to give him — he's going to be ready for the season," Ramirez said. "I hope he's going to do good."

Lucas Ramirez is wearing the No. 24 his father donned for most of his career in the WBC. And Manny Ramirez is thrilled to see his son succeed.

"I'm proud of him," he said. "Thank God for this opportunity that he has."

Jimmy Fallon called out by actress for not inviting her often on the show

The veteran actress, who made an appearance on the Wednesdayepisode, kicked off her chat with the comedian, bluntly asking him why she is not a regular on his show.

"This is my second time with you. I don't know why," the Freaky Friday actress said. "Why have you rejected me? Why have you rejected me so much?"

Fallon dodged the jab, chuckling, "Give me a break," and adding, "You are unbelievable." Curtis shot back, saying, "I was only here twice!"

Jamie Lee Curtis later clarified she's a big fan of Jimmy Fallon. Her playful jab was all in good fun, and she was happy to get a laugh out of him.
