In a recent development in Indianapolis, a man accused of stalking Sophie Cunningham, the star of the Indiana Fever, has been taken into custody. At 48-years-old, Kevin Singh is set to face the legal system with his initial court appearance scheduled for Thursday.
Authorities have charged Singh with a range of serious offenses, including felony stalking, felony intimidation, and misdemeanor harassment following his detainment on Tuesday. If the court finds him guilty, Singh could be facing a sentence ranging from one to five years in prison.
The situation began when prosecutors allege that Singh delivered a package addressed to ‘Sophie’ at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This package contained a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt soaked in men’s cologne along with a letter. After this incident, Singh allegedly began a series of persistent and alarming social media messages with explicit content.
The narrative escalated in February, as detailed in the probable cause affidavit. Singh’s behavior reportedly became increasingly menacing, despite being issued a cease-and-desist letter earlier. His actions ultimately led to him being banned from the venue.
In one of his messages to Cunningham, Singh expressed his frustrations over the consequences he faced, stating, ‘The organization literally threatened me with JAIL,’ in reaction to the imposed restrictions. His communication continued with an alarming tone, referencing her mental health and questioning the gravity of his situation, saying, ‘Over what?? Because you can’t stop looking at what I post?? Do you have ANY f***ing clue what that threat feels like? I can’t go there for ANY reason. Any concert, comedy show . . . because of you, & your F***ed UP mental health.’
Singh has also sued the Fever’s parent company Pacers Sports & Entertainment after being barred from the arena, claiming he ‘suffered financial losses, embarrassment, emotional distress, and loss of use of purchased event access’ as a result of the decision, according to the lawsuit.
Kevin Singh has been charged with felony stalking, felony intimidation and misdemeanor harassment. If found guilty, he could face anywhere from a year to five years in prison
Cunningham initially dismissed the alleged harassment, but then became fearful, police said
Cunningham is a popular player for the Fever and has a large following on social media
According to prosecutors, Cunningham initially thought Singh was ‘another guy posting nasty things,’ but is now taking more caution in public.
‘She has been staying in her home more, and she’s been having nightmares,’ read the court file, reported by Fox59.com. ‘Sophie Cunningham also said she feels like she is always watching her back, doesn’t feel safe and is fearful of Kevin Singh.’
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said the case has added weight due to Singh’s prior criminal history.
As reported by WISHTV.com, Singh is on probation in Hendricks County (Indiana) after pleading guilty to two counts of invasion of privacy. Prosecutors in that case dismissed a stalking charge and four other felonies, according to WISHTV.com.
Cunningham is sadly not the first Fever player to be stalked. In July of 2025, a man named Michael Lewis pleaded guilty to stalking Caitlin Clark and was subsequently given a 2.5-year jail sentence.
A Fever spokesperson declined to comment on the matter to The Daily Mail, citing pending litigation.
‘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,’ Mears said in a 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.’
