Sophie Cunningham Stalker Faces Felony Charges After Months of Threatening Messages
A 48-year-old Indiana man is now facing serious felony charges after a months long campaign of harassment directed at Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Kevin Singh was charged this week with Level 6 felony stalking, Level 6 felony intimidation, and a Class B misdemeanor for harassment, according to a report from WTHR.com.
The behavior reportedly dates back to September 2025. Singh allegedly sent Cunningham multiple threatening and explicit messages over social media. Things escalated when security cameras at Gainbridge Fieldhouse captured a man handing a package to a guard. Inside was a letter addressed to Cunningham along with a Guns N’ Roses shirt.
A portion of the note reads like something out of a movie. “Your Metallica shirt gave me the idea to add GN’R to your collection; and I’ve tried everything else to get your attention. I hope you hit me up! Your Friend and Fan.” That alone would be unsettling. Combined with the prior messages, it crossed every line.
Prosecutors said Singh is currently on probation in Hendricks County after pleading guilty to two prior counts of invasion of privacy. Those are also Level 6 offenses in Indiana, the lowest tier of felony, which can carry jail time and a fine. This is now a pattern, and the system clearly did not deter him.
This is the part where we have to talk about how often this is happening to WNBA players. Caitlin Clark has dealt with multiple stalking situations. Paige Bueckers has had her own scares. Now Cunningham, who has become one of the most prominent personalities in the league since the Fever traded for her, joins the list. The bigger the league gets, the worse this problem gets.
Cunningham herself has not commented publicly. She does not need to. The Fever and the league have been working on enhanced security measures for some time and this case underscores why those investments matter. Players should not have to hire personal security to feel safe doing their jobs.
On the court, Cunningham has been one of the bright spots in Indianapolis. She recently tied her career high with six made three pointers in a win at home over the Toronto Tempo. She has carved out a role as a knockdown shooter and emotional spark plug. Her arrival in Indiana has been a clear win for the franchise.
The legal process now runs its course. Indiana takes Level 6 felony stalking seriously, especially when the defendant is already on probation for a related offense. The probation violation alone could land Singh in jail. The new charges could add years.
The WNBA has to keep pushing. Marketing the personalities of these players is great for the business. Protecting them once those personalities go global has to come with that growth. This case will not be the last one. The hope is that the response continues to get faster and tougher.
For now, the message is straightforward. If you send threats to a professional athlete, you will be identified and charged. Cunningham can focus on basketball. The legal system can handle the rest.
