On July 2, 2015, Terry Jackson “Sweet T” Bunn, Jr., and Jason Stephen Barksdale changed Megan Rondini’s life forever. Sweet T’s quest for a quick one-night stand robbed Megan of her joy in life and exposed her to a justice system in Tuscaloosa where well-connected sexual predators, sex addicts, GHB users, and low-life males can abuse women with impunity and get away with it. Megan Rondini, a 20-year-old University of Alabama honors student, took her life after Sweet T escape criminal justice in her rape case.
July 2, 2018 marks the third anniversary of Megan Rondini’s reported rape case. For over a year, I have been waiting for the right time to tell the full story of Jason Barksdale role in Megan’s tragic rape case. Now is the time.
I have been sitting on a mountain of evidence about Barksdale, including his hook-ups with women before and after his 2014 divorce. I usually quote excerpts from emails and text messages generated by the subjects of my articles. I did not do so in Sunday’s introductory article about Jason Barksdale because the photos and text messages he sent to these women are too graphic and sickening to post.
By his own words and deeds, Barksdale exhibits a propensity to engage in reckless conduct that is fueled by his alcoholism and sexual addiction. This conduct has the potential to harm innocent people in his presence, including his adorable young daughter (who will be 5-years-old on the third anniversary of Megan's rape case).
Based upon the engrained culture of protectionism and male privilege in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, I have decided to closely monitor the court proceedings described in Sunday's article to determine whether the Guardian Ad Litem and the Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court will adequately protect the safety and welfare of Jason Barksdale's daughter during the pending litigation involving his visitations with her.
This is one case where there must not be a failure of justice.
Stay tuned to learn a lot more about Jason Stephen Barksdale.
