According to People, the model has also been charged with recklessly causing physical injury, aggravated harassment and harassment, per court records, and has plead not guilty to all five charges.
Mingus is next set to appear in court on Tuesday (August 26).
His attorney, Priya Chaudhry, who has also represented Jen Shah and Jonathan Majors, says her client’s “innocence will become clear” as “the facts emerge.”
“Despite what the prosecutor said in court — which is not evidence — they [the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office] chose to charge Mingus with misdemeanors or less. This speaks volumes, and much louder than the unsupported prosecutor’s in-court comments,” she said in a statement.
“Equally important, the judge released Mingus on his own recognizance, with neither bail nor supervision,” she adds. “That significant judicial decision amplifies the volume. Mingus is presumed innocent and has pled not guilty.”
Mingus was previously arrested for assault in 2021.
