Melvin Flemings, 28 of Citrus Heights, was arrested by police in Hayward after offering a student private lessons. He's a registered sex offender with a growing rap sheet. The man who goes by the alias "Melvin Allen" was arrested most recently in Hayward after he allegedly approached a teen at Mt.
Eden High and offered private basketball lessons through his so-called company, Evolution Sports. Luckily, that teen told his mom who then got involved. Rueben Pola with the Hayward Police Department said, "The parent agreed to meet with this person, and after the meeting with their son and this person, they ended up doing an internet search, and they found that his name is not Melvin Allen, it's Melvin Flemings, who is a registered sex offender.
Melvin Flemings was arrested by Roseville Police in April for allegedly sending inappropriate texts to children. He's been a registered sex offender since and was posing as a private basketball coach, offering private lessons at the Roseville Sports Center.
Six years before that in , CBS13 cameras captured the man behind bars in a Sacramento County courthouse. The 'then' freshman boys basketball coach at El Camino High was charged with the sexual assault of multiple players and for child pornography.
This time around in Hayward, he didn't get that far thanks to a diligent mom who called the police. Flemings was arrested during a sting at a Friday night football game, thinking he was meeting up with that teenage boy.
