INDIANAPOLIS — A Texas man accused of stalking and sending “sexually violent” social media messages to Caitlin Clark has pleaded guilty. According to KCCI-TV, Michael Lewis, who was 55-years-old at the time of his arrest, was taken into custody in January after investigators say he threatened and stalked Clark. He was arrested at a hotel in Indianapolis after traveling there from Texas.

Lewis proclaimed himself “guilty as charged” during his first court appearance. The court filed a not guilty plea on Lewis’ behalf.

Lewis pleaded guilty Monday and was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, some of which has already been served. He is also prohibited from contacting Clark and is banned from all Pacers and Fever games and events.
