Indiana man charged after threatening WNBA star Sophie Cunningham online
An Indianapolis man was charged after prosecutors said he sent threatening and explicit messages to Sophie Cunningham, prompting a Pacers ban and a court fight.
An Indianapolis man was charged Wednesday with stalking, intimidation and harassment after he sent threatening and explicit messages to WNBA star Sophie Cunningham through social media. Kevin Singh, 48, was arrested Tuesday. The conduct escalated over time.
Court documents filed in Marion County list the stalking and intimidation counts as Level 6 felonies and the harassment count as a misdemeanor. Pacers Sports & Entertainment had already sent Singh a cease-and-desist order on April 30, after the volume and nature of his posts, and barred him from Gainbridge Fieldhouse and other company properties. Weeks before his arrest, Singh sued Pacers Sports & Entertainment over the ban.
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said, "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."
The Cunningham case was the second time since 2025 that a person had been charged with stalking a Fever player. In July 2025, Texas man Michael Lewis pleaded guilty to stalking Caitlin Clark and was sentenced to about 2 1/2 years in prison. Cunningham, 29, is in her second season with the Indiana Fever and is averaging 9.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. Singh's first court appearance was expected June 25 or 26.
