Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham case brings stalking charges

Kevin Singh was taken into custody on June 23, 2026, after prosecutors said he repeatedly sent threatening and explicit messages to Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and left a package for her at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Marion County Prosecutor's Office announced the arrest and said Singh now faces stalking and intimidation charges, both felonies, along with harassment, a misdemeanor.

The case became public the same day the charges were announced, and it centers on conduct that investigators say stretched back to at least Sept. 30, 2025. That matters because prosecutors say the behavior was not a one-off burst of online abuse. It included alleged messages from X and Instagram accounts that named Singh's location near Cunningham, plus a package delivered to the team venue that security opened and found to contain a Guns N' Roses T-shirt sprayed with cologne and a letter signed, in effect, as a fan.

One message from April 23, 2026 read, "You're literally down the street from me!" The affidavit says the accounts also carried sexually explicit remarks and Singh's phone number. Security cameras captured Singh walking into Gainbridge Fieldhouse in September 2025 and leaving the package with a guard, who was told it was from his daughter and meant for a player. The letter addressed to Sophie praised her for a "very special season" and ended with, "I hope you hit me up! Your Friend & Fan."

Cunningham told law enforcement on June 22 that she had read some of the messages and knew about the package. She said when she first found out in February, she thought he was "another guy posting nasty things," but the messages kept coming. She said they led to nightmares and made her stay in her home more often. She also said she was "always watching her back," did not feel safe, never replied to Singh's posts and has never met him or even spoken with him.

That gap between one-sided contact and continued escalation is what gives the case its weight. The affidavit says the conduct became increasingly threatening until team security contacted Singh, and prosecutors are now asking the court for a greater-than-standard bond, home detention and GPS monitoring if he is released. They also want him held without bond for seven days and barred from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, while separately seeking probation revocation in Hendricks County, where he is already on probation after pleading guilty to two counts of invasion of privacy in an unrelated case.

The next decision is whether the court treats Singh as someone who can be supervised at home or as a defendant who needs tighter control before trial. For Cunningham, that answer will determine whether a court order can finally do what repeated warnings, silence and distance did not: stop the contact.
