Texas man charged with stalking WNBA star Caitlin Clark

Michael Thomas Lewis, 55, is accused of stalking Indiana Fever player and WNBA rookie of the year Caitlin Clark, 22. Lewis allegedly sent numerous messages to Clark's X account between December 16 and January 11, which prosecutors claim made Clark feel "terrorized, frightened, intimidated, or threatened". These messages included sexually explicit content and Lewis even admitted to driving by Clark's workplace three times a day. Lewis was arrested at a hotel in Indianapolis and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday morning, facing up to six years in prison.
In doing so, the victim is setting an example for all women who deserve to live and work in Indy without the threat of sexual violence.
No matter how prominent a figure you are, this case shows that online harassment can quickly escalate to actual threats of physical violence.
