Angela Jenkins’ phone wouldn’t stop ringing. The Hendricks County woman said she stopped answering most calls because she can’t shake the memory of the constant phone calls and messages from dozens of spoofed numbers that flooded her business’ voicemail box.
But on June 24, the phone calls weren’t from the man who had previously been charged with harassing her; the calls were from her friends and family letting her know that he had been arrested again.
This time, on allegations of stalking Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.
Kevin Singh, 49, is now facing three charges in Marion County. Prosecutors say he sent Cunningham a barrage of sexually explicit social media messages and tried to deliver a package to her at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
But before those charges were filed by the Marion County prosecutor’s office on June 24, court records show, Singh faced similar allegations from several other women.
Since 2006, Singh has repeatedly been charged in multiple central Indiana counties with intimidation, stalking and invasion of privacy against some — but not all — of the women who’ve made allegations against him. Seven have filed protective orders against him.
“I’m sorry for Sophie,” Jenkins told IndyStar. “She at least has the means to be able to stop this.”
Singh has not yet been assigned an attorney. IndyStar attempted to contact a lawyer who previously represented Singh, but did not hear back.
Singh has also filed a spate of his own lawsuits. Two complaints accuse women, including Jenkins, of inventing the allegations tied to some of his convictions.
Jenkins said she was unable to find an attorney to represent her in the case, which Singh dismissed in September 2024 “with the hope that the defendant is aware of the financial and emotional hardship her actions have continued to cause the plaintiff, and, more importantly, his family.”
Jenkins declined to share specific details about that lawsuit, saying only that she represented herself.
In an earlier lawsuit, Singh had accused another woman of “false arrest” and “imprisonment on wrongful allegations.” At the time he filed the case, he was serving time in prison after being convicted of stalking her.
It wasn’t his first time behind bars for a similar offense. In 2013, according to court records, Singh was sentenced to three years of community corrections for invasion of privacy. Later that year, he was sent to prison for several months after violating the release program’s conditions. In 2015, he was sentenced to two years in prison for stalking as a habitual offender against the woman whom he later sued. He got another four years in 2018 after violating his probation in that case, but he was out by August 2020.
That month, three women filed for protective orders against him, including one who spoke with IndyStar but asked not to be named.
She’s one of several women who said they’re cautiously optimistic that Singh’s longtime pattern of harassment will end now that he’s charged with offenses against a celebrity.
“Maybe it’ll finally have enough attention for him to be held accountable, because he never has been,” she said. In a petition for a protective order, she said Singh sent her a torrent of bizarre and explicit social media messages after he volunteered at her workplace. She ultimately quit that job and moved to another state.
One of her coworkers also filed for a protective order that month after similarly unwanted communications, but Marion County Superior Court Judge Christina Klineman denied the application, writing that it lacked “specificity and context.” That coworker couldn’t immediately be reached by IndyStar.
Jenkins said she had no idea about this history when she and Singh started messaging each other through Facebook around 2021. They’d known each other in college, she said, and she didn’t know what charges he faced in the intervening years.
On his Facebook page, he posted about his gym regimen and high-protein diet. He was a day trader.
“He seemed like he was on the up-and-up,” Jenkins said.
Their relationship went south after she took a vacation to Mexico with her mom and stepmom. There was little cell phone reception there, she told IndyStar, and documents filed with her protective order petition show that Singh sent a flurry of texts and emails accusing her of cheating on him.
Singh was charged in December 2023 with two counts of invasion of privacy after violating Jenkins’ protective order. A jury found him not guilty. After he faced another 12 criminal charges in March 2024, Jenkins said she reluctantly agreed with a Hendricks County prosecutor’s decision to offer a plea deal to Singh to avoid the same outcome.
He is currently on probation in that case, and on June 11, he sued Pacers Sports & Entertainment on an accusation of defamation after the company notified his probation officer of his alleged behavior toward Cunningham. An attorney with Barnes & Thornburg, which is representing the company, said the firm does not comment on active litigation.
Singh’s initial hearing in the new Marion County case is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 25.
