A man from Fort Defiance, Virginia, was arrested on federal cyberstalking charges after allegedly creating more than 1,000 usernames to harass a victim online. Nicholas Andrew McMillion, 25, was taken into custody at his home and appeared in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville. He is being held pending a detention hearing.
Court documents state that between October 2024 and June 2025, McMillion used various platforms such as Discord and Medal to stalk and harass a Canadian victim identified as “Victim 1.” Despite repeated attempts by the victim to block contact and intervention by Medal customer support, McMillion continued his actions. Authorities say he created at least 1,000 accounts on Medal alone to contact the victim.
According to the documents, some of the account names conveyed death threats, sexually explicit acts, and threats of appearing at the victim’s physical location in Canada. The conduct reportedly caused Victim 1 reasonable fear for their safety.
“Acting United States Attorney Robert N. Tracci, and Ian Kaufmann, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Division made the announcement.”
“Assistant United States Attorney Sally J. Sullivan is prosecuting the case for the United States.”
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case.”
Authorities remind that a criminal complaint is an accusation and that McMillion is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
