GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Federal authorities are confirming that a storage unit rented to former WCSG radio host John Balyo had a “bondage” kit that contained items including handcuffs, chains and duct tape.
Balyo is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving an 11-year-old boy. Police allege he paid a Battle Creek man to arrange for him to have sex with minors.
The “bondage” type items were discovered in a suitcase after a Friday, June 20, search of a Plainfield Township storage unit. Investigators also found a padlock, rubber gloves and children’s socks, authorities said.
A Homeland Security Investigations source said Balyo gave police consent to search the unit after he was arrested at a Christian music festival in Gaylord.
