GRAND RAPIDS, MI — John Balyo, the former Christian radio host who has admitted to molesting young boys and creating child porn, spoke “cryptically” to a male companion after asking to store a computer at the friend’s house, court records show.
Balyo, before the allegations against him came to light in June, requested the man hold the computer and told him “if it all goes south, you’ll know what to do,” according to search warrant records filed by investigators in Kent County District Court.
The documents, which shed more light on Balyo’s secret lifestyle, were recently unsealed after being suppressed for 56 days under state law. The records do not show what was contained on the computer, which was turned over to authorities by the man who identified himself to police as having a sexual relationship with Balyo. The man said he never took the computer out of the box Balyo left it in.
Balyo first met the friend two years ago in a gay online chat room, documents state. The friend told investigators they had a continued relationship until Balyo got married earlier this year. The man said his interactions with Balyo did not involve children.
