John Balyo
Radio personality John Balyo is no longer associated with Christian station WCSG 91.3 FM in Grand Rapids, MI. after he was arrested on a sex assault charge.

Police arrested the 35-year-old Balyo, of Caledonia, on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

He was arrested after an investigation involving Homeland Security Investigations. Balyo "allegedly paid a defendant, who is the subject of a separate HSI child-exploitation investigation, to arrange sexual encounters with minor victims."

WOOD TV8 reports the man Balyo allegedly paid is Ronald Moser, according to police.

“They would meet in hotels in areas around Grand Rapids and Balyo would have sex with the children,” according to the HIS agent.

According to court documents, Moser had a profile on a foreign child porn web site. He went by the user name “JAYBOY33.”

WCSG is operated by Cornerstone University. In statement from WCSG Radio, Balyo is no longer affiliated with the radio station and Chris Lemke, the general manager will address the issue on-air at 7:30 during Monday’s WCSG morning show.

WCSG, issued the following statement Friday afternoon:
“We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the arrest and allegations against John Balyo, WCSG morning radio host. He has been put on indefinite paid administrative leave pending further investigation and the legal process. Our thoughts and prayers are with those involved in the investigation.”
