Michael Thomas Lewis, 55, allegedly sent Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark threatening and sexually explicit messages, causing her to feel terrorized and modify her public behavior.
Prosecutors stated that Lewis's messages, many described as 'sexually violent,' instilled such fear in Clark that she felt unsafe going out in public.
Despite being confronted by police, Lewis insisted his actions stemmed from an 'imaginary relationship,' downplaying the seriousness of his messages and describing them as a joke.
Experts suggest that immense popularity, like Clark's in women's basketball, can unfortunately lead to unwanted attention and threats from obsessive individuals.
