A man has been charged with stalking after prosecutors allege he sent multiple threatening and explicit messages to Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.
Kevin Singh, 48, was charged Wednesday with stalking, a Level 6 felony, and harassment, a Class B misdemeanor, related to a series of social media posts and messages sent to and about Cunningham, according to a press release from the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
He also faces one count of intimidation, a Level 6 felony, related to messages sent to a member of Pacers Sports & Entertainment security staff.
According to court documents, Singh’s behavior began escalating via social media earlier this year, but incidents related to his interest in Cunningham began last year.
In September 2025, Sing allegedly dropped off a package at Gainbridge Fieldhouse addressed to “Sophie,” claiming it was from his daughter for a player. When opened by arena staff, the package contained a T-shirt for the band Guns N’ Roses that apparently had been sprayed with men’s cologne and a letter.
“Dear Sophie, Thank you for a very special season (heart emoji),” the note read, according to the probable cause affidavit. “I never watched the WNBA (or Tik Tok) before you arrived, and hop[e] you’re enjoying your time in Indiana, as much as fans have enjoyed ALL that you’ve brought us and our FEVER (three heart emojis). 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.”
The note was signed by Singh and included a phone number police later confirmed was associated with Singh, according to the affidavit.
The probable cause affidavit also includes multiple examples of messages sent via Instagram and X, including several explicit references and messages implying that Singh knew where Cunningham was.
Pacers Sports & Entertainment’s security team sent Singh a cease-and-desist letter in late April, asking him to stop communicating with Cunningham or any player or employee of the Fever and barring him from the arena and from attending any team event or other official activity, according to the affidavit.
However, messages posted to Singh’s X account then began to target Pacers Sports & Entertainment security.
“Whatcha gonna do about it, JB?” one message referencing a member of the security staff posted on June 10 said, according to the affidavit. “Think I’m dumb enough to do something that’ll get me ran up? (crying laughing emoji) Keep standing by. I just might. (man shrugging emoji)”
Singh was booked at the Marion County Jail’s Arrestee Processing Center on Tuesday, according to jail records.
Singh does not yet have an attorney listed in MyCase, and The Indiana Lawyer was unable to contact him for comment.
“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,” Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a written 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.”
A Level 6 felony carries a sentencing range of six months to two and a half years.
Singh is currently on probation in Hendricks County after pleading guilty to two counts of invasion of privacy, both Level 6 felonies. As part of his plea agreement in that case, the Hendricks County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed five felonies, including stalking and a habitual offender sentencing enhancement. It was not immediately clear who the victim was in that case.
The Prosecutor’s Office on Wednesday also filed a motion for greater than standard bond on Singh as well as a request to hold him without bond for seven days pending a request to revoke his probation. Those motions were granted.
This is the second time a person has been charged with stalking a Fever player. Michael Lewis, of Texas, pleaded guilty last year to stalking and harassment after sending threatening messages to Caitlin Clark. He received a two-and-a-half-year sentence in the Indiana Department of Correction.
