An Indiana man was charged Wednesday on accusations he stalked WNBA player Sophie Cunningham and sent her threatening and explicit messages on social media.
Kevin Singh, 48, faces felony charges for stalking and intimidation, as well as a misdemeanor harassment charge. He was arrested Tuesday, according to the Marion County Prosecutor鈥檚 Office.
Cunningham, a player with the Indiana Fever, told investigators she had been staying at home more and having nightmares because of Singh鈥檚 continued messages, according to the affidavit. She was first made aware of Singh鈥檚 alleged online conduct in February, she said.
Singh’s online behavior escalated that month and his conduct 鈥渂ecame increasingly threatening after he was contacted by team security,” the Marion County Prosecutor鈥檚 Office said in a news release.
According to an affidavit, Singh allegedly sent numerous messages 鈥� including explicit messages 鈥� on the social media platform X in April. One of the messages featured the text, 鈥淵ou’re literally down the street from me!鈥� After Cunnigham’s team sent Singh a cease-and-desist letter on April 30, Singh sent more messages on X, making explicit and threatening comments, according to the affidavit.
In September 2025, Singh hand-delivered a package addressed to 鈥淪ophie鈥� at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indiana Fever鈥檚 home arena, containing a letter and a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt sprayed with men’s cologne, according the affidavit.
鈥淭he 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,鈥� Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement. 鈥淐oming forward is never easy, regardless of a person鈥檚 position or public profile. The victim is setting an example by speaking out.”
A phone call to a number listed for Singh wasn’t answered. It wasn’t clear if he had an attorney yet.
Singh is currently on probation in Hendricks County, Indiana, after he pleaded guilty in July 2025 to two felony counts of invasion of privacy, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office said.
The incident comes after Cunningham’s teammate, WNBA star Caitlin Clark, was the by a different man from Texas who was sentenced last year to 2 1/2 years in prison.
