From Viral Workouts To Felony Charges: The Brian "Kyle" Divine- Kaizen DIY Gym Story

A glossy fitness brand, a garage full of gear, and a following that cheered every rep—then the police report landed. We walk you through how a social media influencer known for DIY gym builds is now facing multiple child seduction charges, piecing together the timeline from first officer contact to interviews, warrants, and seized devices. From unplugged Ring cameras to alleged iCloud access attempts, we examine the digital breadcrumbs that shaped the investigation and why fans struggled to square a clean image with the mounting evidence.

We also demystify the law. Indiana’s age of consent is 16, but that doesn’t grant a pass to adults in positions of authority. A stepparent’s role makes “consent” legally irrelevant under child seduction statutes, and alcohol further undermines capacity. We explain how these rules protect teens in blended families, where power, proximity, and silence can replace overt force. You’ll hear how detectives approached witness statements, what potential DNA recovery means for a case like this, and how bond terms, no-contact orders, and GPS monitoring work when allegations involve a household.

As parents, we share concrete, non-alarmist steps for safeguarding kids: device checks that actually matter, app and cloud access to watch, and ways to talk about grooming and coercion without scaring your teen into secrecy. We also reflect on the cost of parasocial loyalty, and why it’s vital to prioritize character over follower counts when someone gains access to your home or your trust. If this story hits close to home, lean on credible resources and local advocates. And if you found value in the breakdown, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what part of this case shocked you most?

Welcome back to the 69 South studio.

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:39.119
Today, for our regular 69 South episode, I'm Chop, your host, and co-pilot in Shotgun Seat is Julie.

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.320
How are you doing today?

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:41.600
I'm good.

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:49.759
We got a special another story about a piece of shit who's taking advantage of miners.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:01:03.119
And if you go on TikTok and Instagram and Facebook and all this stuff, this dude had He is a social media fitness influencer.

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.599
Dude had a lot of followers and shit, right?

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.560
I think on Instagram he was well over a hundred thousand, over fifty thousand on TikTok.

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:21.599
Um I'm not sure how many he had on um Facebook, but you know, he had a big following.

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:27.120
Plus, there's a a Facebook group that I think has like 39,000 members in it.

00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:36.239
Um and he goes by Kazan, K-A-I-Z-E-N D-I-Y Gym.

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.159
And I I went and looked at some of this, some of these dudes' videos.

00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:53.519
And I mean, honestly, the dude looked like he had, for one, quite a bit of time and money wrapped up into it, but he he kind of seemed like he knew what he was doing and had his shit together, but all things are not as they appear, obviously.

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:14.479
Absolutely not, because on Wednesday, November 26th, at approximately seven in the morning, an IMPD officer was dispatched to a rape investigation with a suspect on scene somewhere in Indianapolis.

00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:30.800
So upon arrival, officers met with the caller, which we'll call witness one, who stated that the male, later identified as suspect Brian Kyle Divine, was in the basement.

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:38.000
Officers secured the suspect in handcuffs and placed him in a squad car.

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.439
The officer then spoke with witness number one and her daughter, the victim.

00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:51.599
Victim said nothing had happened that day, but that approximately one month ago she and the suspect had had sex while they were working.

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:57.919
The victim explained that she and the suspect were drinking alcohol and had sex twice on the same day.

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.759
The victim said approximately two weeks later, she and the suspect had sex for the third time.

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.199
The officer contacted the IMPD child abuse unit and spoke with the detective.

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.919
Another officer notified the Indiana Department of Child Services and a DCS report was completed.

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:25.120
Officers transported Kyle and the victim separately to the child abuse office where child abuse detectives then took over the investigation.

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:34.879
On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the detective conducted an audio and video recorded interview of the victim who is 16 years of age.

00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:41.599
The victim said she lives at the address with her mother, her stepfather, and her younger siblings.

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:46.240
The victim said she was there to talk about the sex incidences with Kyle.

00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.319
The victim said the incidences occurred over the span of a month.

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.879
She stated she drank alcohol with Kyle and had sex with him.

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:10.000
She said it was penetrative sex and that his penis went inside her vagina and that it all started at the warehouse or garage about a month ago.

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:20.560
The victim said that the suspect, Kyle, worked for a couple hours, then they drank beer and vodka, and then they had sex at the garage.

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:28.240
The victim stated that Kyle kissed her, picked her up, and placed her on the couch, fingered her, and had sex with her.

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:35.360
The victim said before they left the garage, she and the suspect had sex again against a door.

00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.839
The victim stated she had drank six to eight shots of vodka, which Kyle provided.

00:04:42.319 --> 00:05:01.040
Basically, I think the deal with the garage and the warehouses they had a a home somewhere in Indianapolis, and his gym stuff and his DIY workout videos got so big that I think he was renting a garage somewhere, and then he he set that up and he had a honestly a pretty good looking setup there.

00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:07.279
But the victim stated she didn't have an alcohol tolerance and was drunk at the time of the sex.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.399
She stated that the sex was consensual.

00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.759
She described another incident a couple of weeks later when her mother was out of town.

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:23.120
She stated she had three beers, some shots of alcohol, and was cuddling with Kyle while watching a movie with him.

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.079
She stated she was intoxicated this time as well, and the Kyle was too.

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.040
She stated that she and Kyle had sex then.

00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:36.079
She stated that she had penetrative sex with Kyle along with oral sex.

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:41.120
She stated that during sex the suspect pulled out all but once.

00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:49.279
See, they're saying it was consensual, but I don't think a drunk 16-year-old girl really has the mind to consent to anything.

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.600
You can't even sign a contract if you're not 18.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:52.240
You know what I mean?

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:59.360
So the detective introduced anatomical diagrams of both male and a female.

00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:06.560
When asked to circle the areas used for earl sex, the victim circled the female's diagrams, mouth, boobs, and vagina.

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:16.639
When asked what parts of Kyle's body did he use, the victim circled the male diagrams, mouth, hands, and I swear it says dick.

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:22.480
But the victim confirmed all the sexual encounters were consensual.

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:31.600
When asked about prior communication regarding sex, anything through phone, victim stated that Kyle texted that he was sorry for hurting her.

00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.480
This came after Kyle stopped speaking to her while they were at his mother's house.

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.720
The victim said Kyle began accusing her of being a whore.

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.399
She said that they did not exchange photographs over the phone.

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.959
He's accused his own stepdaughter of being a whore, and look what he's doing to her.

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.319
So you're screwing your wife's 16-year-old daughter, and then you accuse her of being a whore.

00:06:59.040 --> 00:06:59.360
Wow.

00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.720
That's messed up.

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:08.399
On November 26th, the detective spoke with witness number two at the child abuse office.

00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:15.120
Witness number two stated that she knew why she was there, but only found out that morning.

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:21.040
Witness two stated she found out because her mother told her.

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:27.199
Witness two stated that her mom found out because she found something on the victim's phone.

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:35.199
Witness number two stated the only thing she knew was that the victim had ended up telling her.

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:44.319
Witness two stated the victim told her he would give her alcohol sometimes, and stated that the victim didn't go much into detail.

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.879
Witness number two stated that he was her dad, who was the suspect, Kyle Devine.

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:59.199
And witness number two denied ever being touched and denied ever being given any kind of alcohol or no narcotics.

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:06.079
On November 26th, the detective spoke with witness number one at the child abuse office.

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.360
Witness number one stated that she is married to Kyle.

00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:17.120
She explained that the victim is her daughter, and witness two, who is going by witness two, obviously, is the suspect's daughter.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:24.000
Witness one stated the incidents between the victim and Kyle happened at the garage and at their home.

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:29.680
Witness one stated she texted her mom the garage's address.

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:50.080
Witness one stated the garage's address is somewhere on the west side of Indianapolis and stated she thought she knew some of the days the incidents occurred between the victim and the suspect because the suspect unplugged their ring cameras and deleted the video footage.

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.519
She stated that they have cameras at their house and also at the garage.

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.159
They also have ring doorbell cameras.

00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:10.639
She explained that one of the cameras inside the residence faces the dining room and their bedroom.

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.600
The second camera is in the kitchen.

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:27.440
Witness one stated this all started last night after she learned that Kyle was furnishing witness two and the victim with drugs and alcohol.

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:33.600
She stated last night that witness two was drunk.

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.519
So that was Kyle's own daughter, was witness number two.

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.200
So he was getting his own daughter and the stepdaughter drunk.

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.240
Right.

00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:51.919
She stated that she knew that witness two was drunk because witness two came out of her bedroom and said it.

00:09:52.639 --> 00:10:00.080
She stated witness two said that Kyle told her not to tell her about the drugs and the alcohol.

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:10.240
She stated that she called Kyle's family to tell them what was happening and that he was giving his daughter and her daughter drugs and alcohol.

00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:15.600
So the mother had called Kyle's family to tell him what was happening.

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:24.799
And when she had called them upon hearing that, they in turn told her that the victim had had a Tinder account.

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.240
Well the mother said she freaked out and went upstairs to confront her.

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.440
I bet she did.

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:35.279
Witness one said she went through the victim's phone and began searching victim's Tinder account.

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.000
The mother said she found several guys on Tinder that victim was talking to.

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:48.559
She said she texted all the guys that victim had been communicating with on Tinder and told him she was only sixteen years of age.

00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.960
The mother said that she then blocked them from the victim's phone.

00:10:53.200 --> 00:11:06.000
She said she was continued looking through the victim's phone and checked the victim's photos, specifically the deleted ones, and saw that the victim had had a chat with a rape abuse and incest national network.

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:15.440
She said that she saw approximately ten deleted screenshots containing a conversation that the victim had had with the Rape Abuse Center.

00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:21.919
She explained that the conversation was about the victim being in a bad situation with her stepdad.

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:29.759
She said the victim had written out how she was unsure if it was considered rape because the age of consent is sixteen.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:37.679
She said the victim wrote a couple of paragraphs via the rape abuse hotline about her and the suspect having sex.

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:45.279
She said that that one is in a chat and she said she was going to work with the suspect in the garage.

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:52.879
Witness one said the garage was on the west side of Indianapolis, and she explained that the suspect is a gym influencer.

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.279
So the garage was converted into a gym set up to film workouts.

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:04.799
Witness one said that she believes there are two cameras outside the garage and possibly one inside.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.120
I got these.

00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.639
She was like, Yeah, case and di why Jim is been.

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:42.879
I don't know if it said molesting or raping or something, but to that effect, his own stepdaughter, and she just let it all out online.

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.399
I couldn't believe it.

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.480
Oh bet she was blindsided.

00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.879
I mean, this is speculation, but she probably helped this dude get all this equipment and get all set up.

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:57.600
I don't know that for a fact, but assuming they're a team and they're married and they're working together.

00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:15.039
So one thing I thought was weird about that is she called Kyle's family to be like, hey, you know, this dude is giving his daughter and my daughter drugs and alcohol, and they in turn like throwed some shade on the victim.

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.919
Like Oh, yeah, well, she's got a Tinder account.

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:24.480
Like she's kind of like victim shaming, just in a weird way.

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.639
Oh, you're busting him out on this.

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:27.840
We're gonna bust her out on this.

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.320
Oh, yes.

00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:28.960
So what?

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.080
She's smoking and drinking.

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.440
She's got a Tinder account.

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.080
Now what?

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:32.879
You know what I mean?

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.159
That's kind of funky.

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.920
She went on to say that Kyle is the only one with access to the garage cameras.

00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:15.120
She said that after she saw the screenshot conversation between Rain and the victim, she freaked out.

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.600
She said she confronted Kyle about it and he denied it.

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:30.160
She said that the suspect have been fighting and are in therapy as a result of his giving the kids drugs and alcohol.

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.519
Oh, so there was already an issue with the drugs knockoff.

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.040
He's already in counseling about it.

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.800
Well, they were both in some type of counseling over it.

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:46.320
So this has been a problem before that she's been trying to get resolved.

00:15:47.519 --> 00:16:00.480
I just can't imagine somebody giving my kids drugs and alcohol, and they're supposed to be my best friend and partner and raise, you know, healthy, productive children, and you're giving them shit that's gonna rot their brain.

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:05.040
And it is kind of funky that dude is a health influencer.

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.240
Of all things.

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:13.840
You know, he's showing people how to do curls, then he's showing his daughter and stepdaughter how to do curls with alcohol and probably weed.

00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:16.480
I'm just speculating, but right.

00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:20.480
So back to the PCA.

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:31.840
She said this the screenshots that she had found said things about Kyle raping the the victim and giving her marijuana and alcohol.

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:39.440
She said that when she confronted the victim, the victim said it happened three times with Kyle.

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:47.920
She said the victim stated the last time the incidents had occurred was about a month ago.

00:16:48.639 --> 00:17:01.840
She stated that the victim told her Kyle did penetrate her and said that the victim said the suspect came inside her and then made her take a plan B pill.

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:02.960
Wow.

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:17.119
She said the victim told her that she and the suspect had sex one time in their bed when she was in Ohio for work.

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:19.200
Wow.

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:32.399
So she's going out of town to work to help support the family and probably help support his gym fitness videos and dude steadily fucking her daughter while she's out of town.

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:38.720
The mother said that she went to Ohio on November 3rd and returned on November 4th.

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:45.759
She said the victim said that the first time she and Kyle had sex, it happened after his birthday in October.

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:52.799
Witness one said that the victim told her that she and Kyle had sex twice in October on the same day at the garage.

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:58.159
She said the victim told her the suspect made her give him blowjobs.

00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:04.079
Witness one said the victim told her she tried to hold Kyle's hand in the car and he said to stop.

00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:05.679
This is just sex.

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:16.000
Witness one said that when she was deleting things from her daughter's phone, she saw five messages from Kyle, but she accidentally deleted them before reading them.

00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:24.000
Witness one said victim told her that the messages from Kyle said that he was sorry and that he was going to kill himself.

00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:31.919
Witness one said suspect has one Apple iPhone, a MacBook, two computers at work, and an Apple Watch.

00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:34.799
Witness one said Kyle works in it.

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:40.639
Witness one said suspect uses a VPN and is very secretive and tech savvy.

00:18:40.879 --> 00:18:48.159
Witness one said that she purchased the victim's iPhone and the victim's phone number is blah blah blah.

00:18:48.399 --> 00:18:52.399
Witness one said that the passcode to her phone is blah blah blah.

00:18:52.639 --> 00:19:00.079
She said that she knows the passcode to Kyle's phone and that her email and then it states her email.

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:06.639
Today the victim's mother took the victim's phone after hearing about the sleeping with an older man.

00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:14.959
When witness one looked through her phone and discovered screenshots in the victim's phone of her activity on the rape hotline application.

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:21.679
So the detective conducted an audio and video recorded interview with Kyle.

00:19:22.159 --> 00:19:26.879
He read the advice of rights to Kyle, who acknowledged that he understood.

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:31.039
Kyle agreed to speak with the detective by signing the waiver of rights.

00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:40.399
Now, during the interview, Kyle spoke about his work in IT and stated he owned a MacBook Pro, an iPhone 12, and an Apple Watch.

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:52.959
He later confirmed his email address, which is linked to, you know, the Ring Doorbell accounts, and he also confirmed other email accounts that he did have.

00:19:53.199 --> 00:20:01.439
Kyle stated that the victim had a relationship with one of Witness One's ex-boyfriends.

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:09.359
When he began hanging out more with the victim, she disclosed more to him about the prior relationship.

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:17.599
Their conversation became inappropriate when the victim would talk to Kyle when he was having issues with his wife.

00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:24.799
In October of 2025, the suspect, Kyle, stated that he began spending more time with the victim.

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:31.839
Kyle confirmed that the victim would work with him at the garage he purchased in mid-September of 2025.

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.639
Kyle stated he was setting up workout equipment in the garage.

00:20:37.199 --> 00:20:43.679
In November of 2025, his relationship with the victim became sexual.

00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:52.720
Kyle explained that his wife came to him to speak about not being comfortable with him drinking alcohol with the victim.

00:20:53.039 --> 00:21:00.639
Kyle stated he stopped talking and hanging out as much with the victim, but she would still work with him at the garage.

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:07.199
While at the garage, Kyle spoke to the victim about her wanting more from their relationship.

00:21:07.439 --> 00:21:15.039
Kyle stated he knew better, but the victim began taking her clothing off and becoming persistent to have sex with him.

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.439
Kyle stated he rejected the victim and told her to put her clothing back on.

00:21:19.679 --> 00:21:25.439
I'm sorry, but I just don't see uh somebody that I just don't see a young girl looking at.

00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:34.799
This dude, like, okay, this is my stepdad, and proceeding to do those actions that he just said she did.

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.119
I just don't find it plausible.

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.919
Yeah, I mean, he's basically blaming it on her.

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.639
You got the victim blaming bullshit going on again.

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.039
The fact of the matter is, he's a grown man.

00:21:45.199 --> 00:21:46.240
He's a grown ass man.

00:21:46.399 --> 00:21:51.679
He was all buddy buddying up with these 15 and 16-year-old kids.

00:21:52.240 --> 00:22:02.639
And you know damn good and well he ain't some innocent dude that this 16-year-old girl got drunk and took advantage of him.

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:03.679
Come on, man.

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:13.359
So another time while driving to the garage, he told the victim that a relationship could not happen between them.

00:22:13.679 --> 00:22:15.519
They talked and worked during the day.

00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:22.399
Later, the victim brought up just having sex one time and never doing it again, never doing it again.

00:22:22.639 --> 00:22:26.480
And Kyle finally agreed, he said.

00:22:28.959 --> 00:22:29.839
Come on, man.

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:31.039
Finally agreed.

00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.559
Oh, we'll just do it one time.

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:32.959
Yeah.

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:34.720
Never again.

00:22:34.959 --> 00:22:37.519
He this dude is so full of shit.

00:22:38.159 --> 00:22:44.480
So the first sexual encounter occurred at the beginning of November 2025 on a Wednesday, he said.

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:51.519
Kyle confirmed he and the victim were out the garage drinking alcohol before having sex with her on the couch.

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.799
They had sex a second time the same day in the garage near a door.

00:22:56.959 --> 00:23:01.839
So what happened with oh, I finally agreed to just one time because he's full of shit.

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.599
All right, then a couple hours later, okay, just just just one more time.

00:23:05.919 --> 00:23:08.240
Well, it's the same day, so it only counts as once.

00:23:08.399 --> 00:23:08.559
Absolutely.

00:23:08.959 --> 00:23:10.879
I bet he's running these justifications.

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:12.319
I mean You know he is.

00:23:12.399 --> 00:23:14.079
That's that's exactly what he's doing.

00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:16.079
He's justifying this shit in his head.

00:23:16.399 --> 00:23:23.279
So when asked about the victim's drinking habits, Kyle confirmed the victim would usually drink a beer or two and a shot.

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:28.000
Kyle described a time when their family rented an Airbnb in Kentucky.

00:23:28.159 --> 00:23:33.359
During the family stay, the victim drank too much alcohol and ran around the house.

00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:39.439
Well, that's probably what a young girl would do if they drank too much alcohol at that age.

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.279
That's not them taking off their clothes or right.

00:23:43.439 --> 00:23:46.879
They're gonna run around and act act dumb and drunk.

00:23:47.439 --> 00:23:47.839
Right.

00:23:48.159 --> 00:24:55.329
So Kyle stated his second sexual encounter with the victim occurred at their home.

00:24:55.569 --> 00:25:04.769
During the second sexual encounter, Kyle confirmed the victim was drinking alcohol and his wife was on a work trip at the time.

00:25:05.970 --> 00:25:11.890
Kyle stated that the victim wanted to continue their sexual relationship, but he didn't want to.

00:25:12.450 --> 00:25:19.569
Kyle stated that he would not wear a condom during sexual intercourse with the victim, and she took a bland a Plan B pill.

00:25:19.890 --> 00:25:24.210
Kyle believed the victim got the Plan B pill from her mother.

00:25:24.529 --> 00:25:29.569
Kyle was asked how the mother came to find out about his sexual relationship with the victim.

00:25:29.730 --> 00:25:35.970
He stated the victim had her phone taken away due to the mother discovering her having a Tinder account.

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:45.380
When looking through the victim's phone, she decided she discovered something indicating his relationship with the victim in the phone.

00:26:45.620 --> 00:26:48.980
Kyle confirmed that he had two ring cameras at his garage.

00:26:49.140 --> 00:26:56.339
He was unsure if they were on due to them requiring Wi-Fi, and he was unsure if the Wi-Fi was on.

00:26:56.579 --> 00:27:02.420
Kyle stated that there was a camera on the outside of the garage and another located inside at a corner.

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:11.059
He also confirmed that there were two ring cameras located inside their home, a camera located in the dining room and the other in the kitchen.

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:14.019
The other cameras were located outside the home.

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:19.940
Kyle stated he did speak to the victim through text when they were sexually active.

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:32.980
So on November 26th, the detec the detective conducted an audio and video interview with witness one due to her stating that she had further information for detectives.

00:27:33.220 --> 00:27:40.740
In the interview, witness one stated that while in the waiting room, the victim stated to her that at least she did not get herpes.

00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:49.460
Witness one thought that was important because until that point, the only people that knew suspect had herpes were witness one and the suspect.

00:27:49.700 --> 00:28:03.460
Witness one also stated that on the night before, November 25th, when she was going through the victim's phone, she received an alert on victim's phone that there was an attempted iCloud login.

00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:09.779
And she believes that Kyle was trying to wipe the victim's phone through another device.

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:24.740
The victim also informed witness one in the waiting room that she typed about the activities in the notes part of her phone and that Kyle gives her alcohol and cigarettes when they are away from the rut residence.

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:36.099
So basically, she's saying she was on the girl's phone, and then she could tell that somebody was trying to access her iCloud from another device.

00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:37.859
He was scared.

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:38.740
He was tripping.

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:53.140
Detectives applied for warrants to obtain a buckle swab from Kyle at the child abuse office, as well as warrants to take photographs at the residence and collect Kyle's cell phone.

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:58.900
Warrants were also applied for to take photographs at the warehouse or garage.

00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:04.980
Kyle was placed under arrest for child seduction and was transported to intake.

00:29:05.620 --> 00:29:09.539
A warrant was granted to search and seize the victim's phone.

00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:15.940
And then a warrant was also granted for photographs of the residents.

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:30.980
Plus, they also got another warrant to seize the suspect's cell phone and photos, DNA collection, stuff from the warehouse.

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:34.019
Have to you had to have a whole bunch of different warrants.

00:29:34.339 --> 00:29:35.220
You ain't kidding.

00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:39.859
The detective served the warrant for the victim's phone at the child abuse offices.

00:29:40.019 --> 00:29:47.220
Upon arriving at the residence, the detective recovered the phone belonging to Kyle and photographs were taken of the residence.

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:51.620
The detective then went to the warehouse with the assistance of CSU.

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:59.220
Photographs were taken, and three pieces from the couch were recovered with potential DNA and were transported to CSU.

00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:05.940
The phones were transported to the IMPD property room by the detective along with the DNA swabs.

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:12.819
Both the iCloud account and the ring account belonging to Kyle were preserved.

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:20.660
I wonder if it only happened three times or if there was a lot more to it than that.

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:31.059
It seems like their stories were a lot similar, except the fact that Kyle was definitely trying to throw shade on the victim like it was all her fault.

00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:31.859
Right.

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:33.140
And you know what?

00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:42.099
I guarantee it, if you just everything about him was so ill immoral.

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:42.660
Okay.

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:50.099
So could you imagine what he's done with other women that aren't part of his family?

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:59.460
I mean, if he's if you're gonna fold to that or do something like that, you're you're gonna do that with anybody.

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:05.700
Oh, I'm sure he had all kinds of probably women over there trying to get fit and working out with him.

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:14.660
And sounds like they may have got a lot more than the workout that he was giving them, according to what the mother said, the wife said.

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:26.579
Also, I mean, if you go through his social media accounts, some of the music that he picks for his videos, hindsight it says a lot.

00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:27.779
It sure does.

00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:29.140
It sure does.

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:32.980
I bet his followers are just dropping off like flies now.

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:40.420
I wonder if you can go on there and see it when we first looked at it and screen recorded some of it because you know You know what was odd?

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:42.660
So there they got like a private group.

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:45.220
There's like 39,000 people in it.

00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:48.900
Um, by this case in DIY gym.

00:31:49.220 --> 00:32:00.579
Well, anyway, a lot of the people in the on post and comments, because they posted about what happened in there, they're all like, Oh, I hope this isn't true.

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:02.579
I can't believe this.

00:32:03.460 --> 00:32:04.660
Well, he admitted it.

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:13.539
I know, but it it was just crazy to me that these people were like, oh my god, and feeling sorry for him.

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:16.420
I mean, come on, dude.

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:18.579
There's plenty of grown women out there.

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:27.380
If you're gonna go fuck around with somebody, and you know, as a grown man, what is right and what is wrong.

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:32.019
He should have known that from the gate, absolutely.

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:41.700
But you know, I bet you all of his social media followers went to his head and he just thought he was untouchable, and you know, he had it all going on.

00:32:41.859 --> 00:32:47.539
He had hundreds of thousands of people following him, and you know, I bet that's what happened.

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:51.700
He thought he was untouchable because he was this big influencer.

00:32:51.859 --> 00:32:58.980
I guess people they say people get like that once they get so many followers, or you know, their whole attitude changes.

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:05.380
They're not humble, they start to get entitled and expect this or that.

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:08.660
And he thought his shit didn't stink, is what it was.

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:23.299
I wonder if he thought that because obviously the victim was wondering about the age of consent, and granted, she did say that he didn't, you know, force himself on her that it was consensual.

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:29.059
But let's let's run through and talk about the age of consent and what that exactly means in Indiana.

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:34.019
And the age of consent laws, they they do vary from state to state.

00:33:34.339 --> 00:33:38.339
But let's get this in Indiana perspective for you guys.

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:43.940
So the age of consent in Indiana is sixteen years of age.

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:52.339
This means that individuals under sixteen cannot legally consent to sexual activity, regardless of any verbal agreement.

00:33:52.579 --> 00:34:11.699
For those sixteen years and older, consent is generally valid for sexual activity with an adult, provided there are no other aggravating factors like coercion, incapacity, an example due to drugs or alcohol, so that shoots that out of the water, or positions of authority that could invalidate it.

00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:16.420
Indiana also has a Romeo and Juliet close in age exception.

00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:28.420
A 14 or 15 year old can legally consent to someone less than 18 years of age if the age difference is no more than four years, but this does not apply to adults over 18.

00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:34.579
Now, does that mean consent counts with a stepfather?

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:45.380
No, consent does not count in Indiana for sexual activity between a stepparent like a stepfather and a stepchild, even if the child is 16 years or older.

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:56.420
Indiana's law treats such relationship as inherently non-consensual due to like the stepdad has authority and it's like a power imbalance.

00:34:57.219 --> 00:35:00.819
There's also child seduction laws under Indiana codes.

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:16.740
A stepparent who is 18 years or older, engaging in sexual intercourse or other sexual conduct with a stepchild under 18 is guilty of child seduction, a level 4 felony punishable by 2 to 12 years in prison and fines up to$10,000.

00:35:17.460 --> 00:35:24.820
The victim's age does not need to be below the general consent of age 16 for this charge to apply.

00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:30.579
The stepparent-stepchild relationship alone triggers it for anyone under 18.

00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:35.539
Consent is irrelevant here because of the law presumes exploitation.

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:45.140
I bet some wild court cases happened, and that's how they came to change that the codes, which it absolutely should be.

00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:45.940
Right.

00:35:46.180 --> 00:35:51.460
Like when you're in authority over a kid, it's kind of And a parent is all authority.

00:35:51.700 --> 00:35:55.300
Yeah, and it's you know, a stepparent is the same as a parent.

00:35:55.540 --> 00:35:58.820
I mean, you're living in the same home.

00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:05.540
You make the rules, you do this, you have a life together with your family.

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:09.540
There's also laws against incest in Indiana.

00:36:09.700 --> 00:36:21.060
There's an Indiana Code that defines incest as a level five felony for a person 18 years or older engaging in sexual conduct with someone they know is biological related.

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:23.620
An example, a parent or a child.

00:36:23.780 --> 00:36:32.900
However, step relations are not explicitly covered under the biological incest statute, so they fall under the child seduction framework instead.

00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:40.580
These rules are there to protect minors from abuse within blended families, where authority dynamics can prevent true consent.

00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:53.060
If the stepchild is under sixteen, additional charges like sexual misconduct with a minor, level four or level six felony could apply, further emphasizing the consent is void.

00:36:54.500 --> 00:37:00.100
Why don't let's go through the charges that he actually did have and then we'll explain that.

00:37:00.580 --> 00:37:15.860
He got six level five felony child seduction charges, and one misdemeanor A contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:24.420
I wonder why he only got one of those, because obviously it happened several, several times, and with two different children, his daughter and her daughter.

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:31.540
Do you think it's um probably to do with the evidence and if they can or cannot prove that?

00:37:32.100 --> 00:37:32.580
Could be.

00:37:32.740 --> 00:37:40.020
Usually they throw a thousand charges at you and just hope five stick, but yeah, but in this case it's warranted.

00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:40.660
Right.

00:37:40.900 --> 00:37:41.700
True.

00:37:42.580 --> 00:37:56.100
So his bond, and I haven't seen one like this in in like a long, long time, but he has a fifteen thousand dollar cash bond, no ten percent.

00:37:56.420 --> 00:38:26.420
So he has to pay fifteen thousand cash, no new arrest, no firearms, and if he can make the fifteen thousand dollar cash bond, he's to be held to um by Marion County Community Corrections, and he'll go on home detention or GPS probably until the trial or plea deal or whatever is gonna happen here.

00:38:26.820 --> 00:38:33.380
So not only is he gonna have to pay the 15 grand, he's gonna have to go on GPS home detention.

00:38:34.020 --> 00:38:40.420
And I hope and highly doubt that he's gonna be able to go back home to where all this shit happened.

00:38:40.660 --> 00:38:43.860
You know there's gonna be no contact orders against the victims.

00:38:44.420 --> 00:38:45.620
Oh, they're already issued.

00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:51.860
There, yeah, you it's not just it's g it's against the witnesses, the the victim.

00:38:52.580 --> 00:38:58.980
So he's gonna have to probably find somewhere to live or move into his garage or warehouse.

00:38:59.220 --> 00:39:07.780
But I don't even he I haven't seen a bomb posted yet, so I don't I doubt that he's out, but he intends to hire private counsel.

00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:10.180
Well, was it worth it, Kyle?

00:39:10.500 --> 00:39:19.700
All that hard work and stuff you did to be an influencer, it really looked like you were going somewhere, but you just couldn't keep it in your pants, Bub.

00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:21.300
It's kind of fucked up.

00:39:21.700 --> 00:39:22.340
Yeah.

00:39:22.580 --> 00:39:31.700
Well, on our next episode, we're gonna be jumping into the horrendous case of Johnny Knuckles.

00:39:32.580 --> 00:39:50.340
If you haven't already heard, over in Shelby County, Indiana, Johnny Knuckles was arrested for sexually assaulting a two-year-old child, and it's horrific, very horrific.

00:39:50.500 --> 00:39:55.220
So we'll jump into those details, and that probably will cause affidavit.

00:39:55.860 --> 00:40:03.540
You know, we was talking we were talking about something last night coming home from wrestling practice and stuff.

00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:20.820
You asked me if you know, because unfortunately, we're never short of content for this type of podcast, and you you asked me, you said, was it what do you think that child seduction shit was this bad, you know, like when we were kids?

00:40:21.060 --> 00:40:29.060
And it just didn't I don't whether I was just blind to it or it just didn't seem like shit was this freaking erratically bad.

00:40:29.460 --> 00:40:31.220
You hear about we were growing up.

00:40:32.020 --> 00:40:37.540
You you hear about this every single day.

00:40:38.100 --> 00:40:45.940
And I know we're a different time now, but still it's it seems like it's getting out of control.

00:40:46.180 --> 00:40:53.780
And I always say I sound like old putty duddy or one other, but the fucking internet, man, the internet is the devil, it really is.

00:40:54.100 --> 00:40:55.300
It sure is.

00:40:55.620 --> 00:41:10.580
I I just wonder sometimes if you know how when you're a kid and you're growing up and you get to the next level of learning shit in life, it's like you get a kind of a dopamine out of it, you know?

00:41:11.060 --> 00:41:18.580
And it seems like these kids nowadays are being able to access the internet and look at shit they're not supposed to.

00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:26.740
So there's it's like they're always craving that next little piece of dopamine, and it's just I don't know, it's it's got everything kind of messed up.

00:41:27.060 --> 00:41:29.780
I've banned my children from devices.

00:41:30.260 --> 00:41:30.900
Yeah.

00:41:31.460 --> 00:41:36.100
And parents, keep an eye on your kids, see what the hell they're doing.

00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:43.620
Check their phones, check their Chromebooks, check your iPad, your house computer, you name it, you need to check it.

00:41:43.940 --> 00:41:49.620
And don't let your kids get mad at you and be like, oh, you're so mean and controlling because they'll thank you when they get a little bit older.

00:41:49.860 --> 00:41:50.900
They sure will.
