Grand Rapids Radio: Balyo Called "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing"

John Balyo
Federal Prosecutors offered harsh words Friday in a sentencing memorandum regarding a former Christian radio host John Balyo.

In a newly filed sentencing memorandum, prosecutors call him a "wolf in sheep's clothing," according to wwmt.com.

Balyo is awaiting sentencing on federal charges related to child porn and sexual exploitation of a child.

In the memorandum, photos show a bondage kit recovered from a storage unit Balyo kept--the same bondage kit prosecutors say that Balyo brought to hotels in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek to sexually assault a little boy.

They say Balyo's storage unit also had children's obituaries, news clippings detailing sexual abuse involving kids, and child pornography.

The prosecutor recommends Balyo be handed the maximum sentence next month--50 years for the two counts against him.

Balyo, 35, a former host at Christian non-com WCSG 91.3 FM, will be sentenced Dec. 11 on federal charges of sexual exploitation of a child and possessing child pornography. He's already serving 25 to 50 years in prison on child sexual abuse convictions from state courts.
