Prosecutor: Balyo admitted to sexually assaulting boy

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — A longtime Christian radio host allegedly admitting to sexual assaulting at least one 12-year-old boy.

John Balyo was arraigned Monday in a Battle Creek courtroom on one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. It’s a felony charge that could land him in jail for the rest of his life.

Balyo shook his head as the charge against him was read.

He was arrested as the result of a federal investigation into Ronald Moser of Battle Creek. Police say Balyo paid Moser to arrange sexual liaisons with young boys for sex and that one of the encounters — involving a 12-year-old — happened in Battle Creek in May.

Calhoun County Prosecutor David Gilbert told Magistrate David Heiss Monday that Balyo confessed to police.

“It is my understanding based on the police report that the defendant did make admissions to count one,” Gilbert said.

Balyo, 35, had been held on $500,000 bond. That was revoked Monday.
