Recently unsealed documents show than a Michigan Christian radio host’s secret life involved child sexual crimes and plans to ask a friend to destroy evidence. We applaud the whistleblower who called police instead of helping a criminal thwart prosecution.

John Balyo who is awaiting sentencing for taking pornographic images of a 12 year old boy and sex acts with a child. We urge the judge in his case to sentence him to the maximum term, which is 50 years in jail. This is a dangerous predator and he should be kept away from children for as long as possible.

We also urge parents and officials in Kalamazoo County who may have had contact with Balyo to share any suspicions they have and talk to their children. Every church or school group where Balyo spoke or spent time with should also do aggressive outreach to find others who may have seen, suspected or suffered his crimes.

Finally, we applaud Balyo’s former boss Chris Lemke for doing the right thing and calling police instead of making a phone call for Balyo. His actions quite possibly helped preserve evidence and will keep a dangerous predator away from kids.
