Man charged with stalking Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham
INDIANAPOLIS (WRTV) — A 48-year-old man is facing criminal charges after allegedly sending multiple threatening and explicit messages to Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham through social media, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced Wednesday.
Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced that 49-year-old Kevin Singh has been charged with Stalking, Intimidation, and Harassment for “allegedly sending multiple threatening and explicit messages” to Cunningham.
“What you see in this case is, and hopefully what it sends a message to people in the community (about), is that there (are) real consequences to what you say online,” Mears said.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Singh’s online behavior began escalating in February. Prosecutors say his conduct grew increasingly threatening even after he was contacted by team security.
Court documents said Singh sent several aggressive messages to Cunningham via Instagram and X, some sexually explicit.
One said, “I’m going to marry you. I can’t wait.” Another said, “I wanna grow with you (in my *****).”
The Fever’s head of security, John Ball, ultimately sent Singh a Cease-and-Desist Letter. Singh responded to Ball with several aggressive messages, one saying, “your life is about to be ****ed with.”
Cunningham told police she has never met Singh, and that since she became aware of his comments, she has been staying home more and even having nightmares.
“Everyone has a right to feel safe at their workplace, and this compromised her ability to feel safe in the workplace,” Mears said.
The case carries added weight given Singh’s prior criminal history, according to Mears.
He is currently on probation in Hendricks County following guilty pleas to two counts of invasion of privacy. In that case, the Hendricks County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed five felonies, including a stalking charge.
This marks the second time a person has faced criminal stalking charges connected to a member of the Indiana Fever. In July 2025, Michael Lewis pleaded guilty to stalking and harassing Caitlin Clark and was sentenced to nearly two and a half years in prison.
Prosecutor Mears issued the following statement:
“The internet has made it easier than ever to target, harass and intimidate others. Threats of violence, whether face-to-face or behind a keyboard, will be taken seriously.”
Coming forward is never easy, regardless of a person’s position or public profile. The victim is setting an example by speaking out. No one should have to endure harassment, intimidation or threats of violence, and every person deserves to feel safe in their workplace and throughout our community.
Mears also credited law enforcement for their response, adding: “We commend Marion County Sheriff Kerry Forestal and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office for their swift and decisive work on this investigation that led to this arrest.”
Police arrested Singh on Tuesday, and the prosecutor’s office filed charges against him on Wednesday. He’s due in court Thursday morning for an initial hearing.
