Authorities in Indiana have arrested Kevin Singh, a 48-year-old Indianapolis resident, accused of stalking Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Singh is facing multiple charges after allegedly sending threatening messages to the WNBA player for months.
Prosecutors claim Singh repeatedly contacted Cunningham through social media and sent messages containing threats and inappropriate content. He is also accused of delivering a package to the arena where the Indiana Fever play, containing a T-shirt sprayed with cologne.
Court records state that Cunningham felt frightened by the situation and became more cautious in public. Team security issued a cease-and-desist letter directing Singh to stop contacting Cunningham, but the contact continued despite the warning.
The case has renewed conversations about how teams and law enforcement respond to harassment directed at professional players. Prosecutor Ryan Mears said online threats should be treated seriously and that athletes deserve protection both on and off the court.
