New information has been uncovered in the case of a former Christian radio host charged with having sexual contact with a child.

John Balyo, a former morning personality at Christian radio station WCSG 91.3 FM was charged with two counts of felony criminal sexual conduct on Monday.

Police say his victim is a 12-year-old boy, according to Newschannel 3 in Grand Rapids.

Federal officials confirmed that Balyo had been renting a storage unit. When searching the unit, police found kids clothing, duct tape, handcuffs, and chains. They also found children's obituaries, and body parts from a mannequin.

Police officers testifying to a judge say Balyo took his victim to a hotel room at the Fairfield Inn in Battle Creek on May 17.

"During this time at the hotel room, the victim did state that John Balyo did have him perform oral sex on John Balyo," the officer testified.

Also in court documents, police say Balyo admitted his guilt.  "John Balyo did advise that he in fact did have sexual contact, being oral sex, and the fondling of (the victim)," the officer testified.

Balyo is accused of using another man who was arrested in the case, Ronald Moser, to arrange the meeting at the hotel.
