Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 15:19 · Archive
WNBA player Sophie Cunningham says the FBI is monitoring approximately 20 people over concerns involving her.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham told podcaster Theo Von that the FBI is monitoring approximately 20 people over concerns involving her. Cunningham did not identify those individuals or explain what the agency's involvement entails, and her claims have not been independently verified.
Cunningham said stalkers are a significant problem for WNBA players that receives little public attention. 'We do have a lot of stalkers,' she said. 'And like that's a negative side of things that people don't think about. And so you do want to feel secure.' She praised her team's security arrangements as crucial to player protection.
Cunningham named one alleged stalker, Kevin Singh, who is currently held in a Marion County, Indiana detention centre on charges of felony stalking, felony intimidation and misdemeanor harassment. Singh has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The Daily Mail reports it sought confirmation with FBI spokespeople but has not disclosed whether the FBI confirmed Cunningham's account of monitoring the individuals.
