Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder was arrested this past Friday by Columbus Police as part of a prostitution sting in the city.
Columbus Police confirmed the arrest to MMA Fighting on Monday after local outlet 10TV first reported the news.
Snyder, 29, was one of 16 men charged during the sting after police led an undercover operation to crackdown on prostitution in Columbus. Police posted escort ads online as part of the operation and then used the responses to set up potential arrests.
Snyder reportedly called and texted the number listed in the ad around 8:15 p.m. on Friday and agreed to meet the escort at a local hotel.
After arriving, Snyder allegedly paid an undercover officer cash and requested oral sex. He was then arrested for engaging in prostitution and released at the scene.
He’s due in court on May 19.
One of the most decorated wrestlers in recent American history, Snyder secured his spot in history as the youngest U.S. wrestler to ever capture gold when he won during the 2016 games. Snyder returned to capture a silver medal during the 2020 Olympics before coming short of claiming a third medal during the 2024 games in Paris.
In addition to his Olympic accolades, Snyder is a seven-time medalist at the World Championships of wrestling and a three-time National Champion after wrestling at the Ohio State University.
More recently, Snyder signed to participate in the new Real American Freestyle wrestling promotion that was started by WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan and former WWE executive Eric Bischoff.
Lol what the fuck…
Snyder’s got a wife and at least one kid IIRC.
This shit is why I’m always side eyeing people who talk about Christianity and their faith every where they go. The people who believe it just walk the walk. And then creeps like this use them as cover for their depravity.
Let him bang bro.
There’s two sides to every story.
Let’s hear Snyder out!!!
I don’t give a shit if someone wants to pay for pussy. It’s not my jam, but no big deal IMO.
I just hate hypocrites trying to cultivate an image.

Former collegiate wrestling icon Kyle Snyder, who won gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics, was arrested during a prostitution sting by Columbus Division of Police last weekend in Ohio. Snyder is accused of paying an undercover officer for oral sex, according to a report from 10 WBNS, and will return to court on May 19.
Snyder previously set his sights on UFC superstardom during his incredible run back in 2016 and later offered to train “Notorious” lightweight, Conor McGregor, for his Khabib Nurmagomedov headliner at UFC 229 in late 2018.
Jesus loved the hoes.
Absolutely legal. The guy went looking for it and it just happened to be cops.
They use the same tactic to catch liberals, I mean PEDOS…
It’s fucked but really more for his family than anything else..
Being a Christian doesn’t mean you never fall short. To the contrary, being a Christian is acknowledging you have human frailties and that you are unworthy of God’s grace and forgiveness because we all live in sin.
