An Indiana man is now facing criminal charges after authorities say he repeatedly stalked and sent threatening messages to professional basketball player Sophie Cunningham.
Kevin Singh, 48, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with felony stalking and intimidation, along with a misdemeanor harassment count, according to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
Cunningham, who plays for the Indiana Fever, told investigators that Singh’s persistent online messages had caused her to stay home more often and left her suffering from nightmares, court documents show. She said she first became aware of Singh’s alleged behavior in February.
Rather than backing off after being contacted by team security, Singh’s conduct only grew more alarming. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office stated that his behavior “became increasingly threatening after he was contacted by team security.”
Court documents detail that Singh sent multiple messages — some of them explicit — through the social media platform X in April. One message read, “You’re literally down the street from me!” Even after Cunningham’s team sent Singh a cease-and-desist letter on April 30, he continued posting explicit and threatening messages on the platform.
In September 2025, Singh personally dropped off a package at Gainbridge Fieldhouse — the Indiana Fever’s home arena — addressed simply to “Sophie.” Inside was a letter and a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt that had been sprayed with men’s cologne, according to the affidavit.
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears issued a statement addressing the seriousness of the charges: “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.”
Attempts to reach Singh by phone were unsuccessful, and it was not yet known whether he had legal representation.
Singh is already serving probation in Hendricks County, Indiana, following a July 2025 guilty plea to two felony counts of invasion of privacy, the prosecutor’s office noted.
This latest case comes on the heels of a similar situation involving Cunningham’s teammate, WNBA star Caitlin Clark, who was stalked and harassed by a separate man from Texas. That individual was sentenced last year to two and a half years behind bars.
