An Oklahoma children’s baseball coach, Jeremy Dale Ford, has been accused by his ex-girlfriend, Summer Lauren, of domestic violence, child sexual abuse, and other disturbing behaviors.
The accusations have sparked outrage online, with many expressing concern over his involvement with children despite his criminal history.
Ex-Girlfriend Speaks Out Publicly
In a series of emotional and detailed Facebook posts, Summer Lauren accused Ford of being dangerous, abusive, and manipulative.
She wrote,
“Let me make it real clear right now. I won’t ever be silent about what you did to me! Jeremy Dale Ford is an abuser. He attacked me and strangled me. He was talking about his 🍆 to my 14-year-old daughter and Snapchatting her behind my back. He is now helping coach a children’s baseball team! I will not be silenced!”
Lauren also alleged that she possesses audio recordings of Ford attacking her and threatening to kill her with a loaded .45 caliber handgun.
Moreover, she claimed Ford lived just a block away from Grove School and warned parents to check their daughters’ social media accounts for inappropriate contact.
She alleged he used the name “JDF” online and had a history of grooming teenage girls.
She also detailed a pattern of intimidation, saying he disabled her car to prevent her from leaving and that a neighbor, Kerysha White, alerted Ford when she attempted to escape, leading to further abuse.
According to Lauren, Ford used his access to her children as leverage to keep her from leaving, at times holding one of them hostage.
She claimed he pointed a loaded gun at her, threatened to kill her and her children, and texted inappropriate messages to his own blood relative.
Lauren also accused Ford of having a history of violence toward women, citing an alleged incident where his ex-wife claimed he broke her collarbone.
Prior Arrest And Criminal Record
Public records show that Jeremy Dale Ford Sr. was arrested and booked on February 2, 2022.
He was charged with domestic abuse in the presence of a child, committing assault and battery against a person living in the same household.
Despite his criminal record, Ford has continued to work in various roles.
His employment history includes assistant Store Manager at O’Reilly Auto Parts since 2018, security Guard at Ameritex Guard Services, and at D & L Entertainment Services Inc.
Moreover, he was a former Sergeant of Marines in the U.S. Marine Corps (2004–2012).
He reportedly studied at the University of Maryland and graduated from Jenks High School in 2005.
The allegations have left many in the community unsettled, especially given Ford’s proximity to schools and involvement in youth sports.
Critics are calling for stricter background checks for youth coaches and better safeguarding policies to protect children.
Lauren concluded her statement with a warning:
“Be safe and diligent. If I can protect one woman or child from being hurt, I will keep speaking out.”
