A man accused of stalking WNBA star and Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has been arrested.The prosecutor’s office of Marion County, Indiana said 48-year-old Kevin Singh was taken into custody on Tuesday, June 23. He faces two felony charges of stalking and intimidation and a misdemeanor charge of harassment for allegedly sending multiple threatening and explicit messages to Cunningham via social media.Prosecutors also say Singh threatened John Ball, the vice president of security and event services for the Indiana Pacers and Fever, after Ball sent him a cease-and-desist letter."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,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement. “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.”Prosecutors have filed a motion for a greater-than-standard bond for Singh and have also filed a stay-away order from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Prosecutors are also requesting Singh be held without bond for seven days for violating his parole for an unrelated invasion of privacy charge.Singh’s pursuit of Cunningham allegedly began on Sept. 30, 2025 when security cameras at Gainbridge Fieldhouse captured him dropping off a package addressed to “Sophie.” It was opened by security personnel at the Fever’s home arena and inside was a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt sprayed with men’s cologne and a letter:“Dear Sophie, Thank you for a very special season (heart emoji) I never watched the WNBA (or Tik Tok) before you arrived, and hop you’re enjoying your time in Indiana, as much as fans have enjoyed ALL that you’ve brought to us and our FEVER (three heart emoji’s) The beads were blessed in HIS name by a Cardinal visiting Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indy. I’ve given them to family and close friends over the years. Your Metallica shirt gave me the idea to add GN’R to your collection; and I’ve tried everything else to get your attention (smile emoji). I hope you hit me up! Your Friend & Fan.”In December, Pacers Sports & Entertainment — the parent organization that operates both the NBA’s Pacers and WNBA’s Fever — hired Caitlin Scott as associate director of analysis and Investigations. According to the affidavit for probable cause, Scott told police she was assigned to investigate suspicious people, including Singh.Screenshots of social media messages from Singh to Cunningham are included in the affidavit. Singh sent Cunningham his phone number, sent her some sexually explicit messages and said he was going to marry her. In messages sent in April, Singh says, “You’re literally down the street from me!” and described the building in which she lived in as “safe.”Cunningham told police she was first made aware of Singh’s posts in February and initially thought “he was another guy posting nasty things.” But since Singh’s posts continued, “she feels like she is always watching her back.” Cunningham told police she had never met Singh, doesn’t know him and wants the posts to stop.On April 30, Ball sent the cease-and-desist letter to Singh and he was banned from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Despite the letter and the banning, Singh’s social media posts directed at Cunningham continued, the affidavit shows. Singh also started frequently posting about Ball, who told police he began carrying a firearm after learning about Singh’s social media activity.This is not the first time Singh has faced charges related to stalking, harassment or invasion of privacy in unrelated cases. According to online court records in Indiana, he was found guilty of stalking in 2014, had a charge of invasion of privacy dismissed in 2024, and reached a plea agreement on two counts of invasion of privacy in 2025. For the latter, Singh was currently on probation in Hendricks County.Earlier this month, on June 11, Singh filed a lawsuit against Pacers Sports & Entertainment for defamation, false light and tortious interference. In the lawsuit, Singh said he was barred from attending Fever games “based upon allegations that he disputes and believes were inaccurate.” Singh says he suffered “financial losses. embarrassment, emotional distress, and loss of use of purchased event access.” Singh said he became aware that Pacers Sports & Entertainment, Inc. contacted his probation officer on June 8.Three attorneys for Pacers Sports & Entertainment, Inc. filed appearances related to that lawsuit on the same day Singh was arrested. Singh was representing himself in the suit.It's the second time a person has been charged with stalking allegations involving an Indiana Fever player. In July 2025, Michael Lewis of Texas was sentenced to nearly 2.5 years in prison after pleading guilty to stalking and harassment of Caitlin Clark.
