CALHOUN COUNTY, MI — John Balyo, the former Christian radio host accused of molesting young boys in at least two counties, has pleaded guilty to a felony in Calhoun County Circuit Court.

Balyo already is awaiting sentencing in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids after admitting he photographed sex acts with a 12-year-old boy at a Kalamazoo County hotel.

Balyo, 34, was a former morning show host for WCSG in Grand Rapids.

He pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct Tuesday, Sept. 9, in Calhoun County District Court and will be sentenced Nov. 10.

A charge of second-degree criminal sexual conduct will be dismissed at sentencing, a Calhoun County Circuit Court clerk said.
