Caitlin Clark Stalker Arrested After Violent Threats, Faces Felony Charges

The 55-year-old Texas man allegedly sent sexually violent messages and drove by the WNBA star's home, prompting her to fear for her safety.

Michael Lewis, 55, was arrested in Indianapolis after sending threatening and sexually explicit messages to WNBA star Caitlin Clark on social media.
Court documents reveal Lewis allegedly drove by Clark's home multiple times daily and traveled from Texas to Indianapolis to be near her, escalating her fears.
During his first court hearing, Lewis disrupted proceedings by declaring himself guilty, though a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf by the judge.
Clark reported feeling terrorized and forced to change her public appearances due to the harassment, which authorities deemed credible threats of violence.
The case has reignited discussions about the harassment of female athletes, with calls for leagues like the WNBA to implement stronger protections and security measures.
