A Fort Defiance, Virginia man, Nicholas Andrew McMillion, 25, was arrested today on federal cyberstalking charges. McMillion was taken into custody at his home in Fort Defiance, Virginia and charged via federal criminal complaint with cyberstalking.
According to court documents, between October 2024 and June 2025, McMillion used various online platforms, including Discord and Medal, to create online gaming and social media accounts for the express purpose of stalking and harassing a victim (“Victim 1”) from Canada. Records show that McMillion created at least 1,000 Medal accounts and used many of them to contact and harass Victim 1, despite Victim 1’s repeated attempts to block contact with him and being blocked by Medal customer support.
McMillion’s account names, through which he contacted Victim 1, conveyed death threats, sexually explicit acts, and threats of arriving at Victim 1’s physical location in Canada. McMillion’s harassing conduct caused a reasonable fear of death and bodily harm to Victim 1.
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. A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. McMillion made his initial court appearance today in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville and is being held pending a detention hearing.
The arrest of McMillion serves as a reminder that online harassment and cyberstalking are serious crimes that can have severe consequences. The use of online platforms to stalk and harass individuals is a growing concern, and law enforcement agencies are taking steps to combat these crimes. In this case, McMillion’s alleged actions caused significant harm to the victim, and he will now face the consequences of his actions.
The investigation into McMillion’s alleged cyberstalking activities is ongoing, and further details may be released as the case progresses. For now, McMillion remains in custody, awaiting his detention hearing. The outcome of the case will depend on the evidence presented in court and the deliberations of the judge and jury.
