Indianapolis police have arrested a 48-year-old man accused of stalking Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham. The suspect, Kevin Singh, faces felony stalking, felony intimidation, and misdemeanor harassment charges. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday in Indianapolis.
Prosecutors allege that Singh escalated his behavior starting in February, sending persistent social media messages, some described as explicit, and hand-delivering a package to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The package reportedly contained a Guns N' Roses t-shirt sprayed with men's cologne and a letter. Singh had previously been banned from the arena.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Singh continued his behavior even after receiving a cease-and-desist letter. In messages to Cunningham, he allegedly wrote, "The organization literally threatened me with JAIL. Over what?? Because you can't stop looking at what I post?? Do you have ANY fing clue what that threat feels like? I can't go there for ANY reason. Any concert, comedy show . . . bc if you, & your Fed UP mental health."
Singh has also filed a lawsuit against Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the Fever's parent company, claiming financial losses, embarrassment, emotional distress, and loss of event access due to his ban from the arena.
Initially, Cunningham dismissed the alleged harassment, but police stated she later became fearful. Court documents reported by Fox59.com indicated that Cunningham has been staying home more, experiencing nightmares, and feeling unsafe, stating she "feels like she is always watching her back."
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears noted that Singh's prior criminal history, including a probation for invasion of privacy convictions in Hendricks County, adds weight to the case. Prosecutors had previously dismissed a stalking charge and other felonies against Singh in that case.
This incident follows a similar case involving another Fever player. In July 2025, Michael Lewis pleaded guilty to stalking Caitlin Clark and received a 2.5-year jail sentence.
A spokesperson for the Fever declined to comment, citing pending litigation. Prosecutor Mears stated, "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."
He added, "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."
