GAYLORD — A former downstate Christian radio station host who was arrested on criminal sexual conduct charges June 20 at the Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord has been denied bond.
John Balyo, 35, of Caledonia, was arraigned in Calhoun County’s 10th District Court Monday on one count each of first degree criminal sexual conduct and second degree criminal sexual conduct.
The charges are punishable by up to life in prison and up to 15 years in prison, respectively.
Federal investigators confirmed that on June 20, items which could be used for bondage, including handcuffs, duct tape, rope, zip ties and socks, were found in a Plainfield Township storage unit, rented out by Balyo. Plainfield Township is located approximately 10 miles north of Grand Rapids.
