Michael Lewis, 55, has been charged with Stalking - a Level 5 Felony - after targeting Clark, 22, with a series of disturbing posts on X over the past month. She is said to have come forward and helped report Lewis to the authorities, with Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears praising her for 'setting an example for all women'. After his arrest, police released an image of Lewis's mugshot on Monday.
And according to The Guardian, Clark told officers that the messages had left her so terrified that she even changed her public appearance. It is unclear how exactly she switched up her look, though the women's basketball sensation has not been seen with any significant or more-permanent changes to her appearance of late.
