Snyder Arrested on Prostitution Charge

On Monday afternoon, we learned that 2016 Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder was one of 16 men arrested on Friday night in a prostitution sting. News of this incident has been floating around all weekend, but a report by Columbus, Ohio’s CBS affiliate WBNS confirmed the rumors. 

The report states that Snyder responded at approximately 8:15 pm to an ad posted by the Columbus Police Department in an undercover attempt to reduce prostitution. Shortly after, Snyder appeared at a local hotel and paid the undercover officer. 

He was arrested for engaging in prostitution by officers on scene and released from custody at the scene. Snyder has been summoned to appear in court on May 19th. 

The three-time world champion and two-time Olympic medalist locked up a berth in Final X with his US Open win in late April. Final X would put him only two matches away from making his 11th straight world/Olympic team. It’s unclear if this arrest will impact his participation in Final X and perhaps the 2025 world team.
