COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Olympic champion and former Ohio State wrestler Kyle Snyder will plead guilty to a lesser charge on Monday after he was arrested last week in a prostitution sting, his attorney confirmed to NBC4.

Snyder plans to plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, according to his attorney.

“I want to thank everyone who has reached out with kindness and support,” Snyder said Wednesday in a post on X. “My focus is on my relationship with the Lord Jesus and my family. This is not the conclusion of my journey.”

The Olympian was arrested May 9 on the north side of Columbus. He was charged with engaging in prostitution, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Internet ads for escorts were published by CPD’s Police and Community Together unit and texts were received at about 8:15 p.m. from over a dozen men, including Snyder, police said.

Just before 8:40 p.m., police said Snyder met an undercover officer at a hotel and paid them in cash to perform sexual acts. He was arrested by uniformed officers inside the hotel room and was one of 16 men charged during the sting operation.

A Maryland native, Snyder is one of the most successful wrestlers in American history. As a Buckeye, he completed a historic 2016 sweep of the NCAA, world, and Olympic championships before returning to Ohio State and defending his NCAA title in 2017.

He was unable to defend his gold in the 97 kilogram freestyle weight class from the Rio 2016 games in Tokyo in 2021, losing in the final and taking home a silver medal. In his third Olympics last year in Paris, he fell short of a bronze medal after losing to Iranian Amir Ali Azarpira in a bronze medal match.
