BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — Federal investigators say they have heard from several people who are concerned a longtime Christian radio host accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old may have also targeted their children.
John Balyo, 35, is charged with one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of second degree criminal sexual conduct. He allegedly admitted to investigators that he sexually assaulted an 11-year-old boy in Battle Creek in May. He also allegedly pointed them to his storage unit, which contained what federal investigators called a “bondage kit.”
Homeland Security Investigations, Michigan State Police and the Battle Creek Police Department continue their investigation into the former WCSG morning show host.
One week after his arrest, authorities said they have received “several” calls from people who worry Balyo may have acted inappropriately with their children.
Kenneth Duke, resident agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, says authorities will investigate every single call — and that’s just the beginning.
