Ex-Christian radio host who ‘admitted raping an 11-year-old boy’ had duct tape, handcuffs and chains in his storage unit
A former Christian radio host, who admitted to raping an 11-year-old boy, had a rented storage unit where he kept a ‘bondage kit’ of handcuffs, chains and duct tape, the FBI confirmed to MailOnline today.
John Balyo, 35, has been charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he confessed last week to having sex with a child.
It is claimed that Balyo, from Battle Creek, Michigan, paid a man to arrange a sex session with a minor for him.
He was arrested last Friday while at the Big Ticket Christian music festival in Gaylord, Michigan. He was a morning show host on Christian station WCSG.
The handcuffs and other items were found in a suitcase after police searched a storage unit in Plainfield Township last Friday.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesman told MailOnline on Thursday that while being interviewed, Balyo indicated that he had a storage unit and gave officers permission to search the space.
