Online gamer accused of sexually assaulting underage girl, buying her Plan B after condom broke

A Florida man is in custody after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl he met through the online game, Fortnite.



According to reports, Dillon Atkinson, 26, was arrested on December 29 and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior or lewd and lascivious battery on a victim between 12 and 16 years old — the Floridian law equivalent of statutory rape — after the alleged victim's parents made disturbing accusations.

The father of the victim claimed that he had recently confiscated his daughter's school-issued Google Chromebook, where he discovered that she had been having apparently inappropriate chats with a person with the email addressdillon_atkinson@icloud.com. When confronted about the messages, the girl admitted that she had been having a "sexual relationship" with Atkinson for the past two weeks, the affidavit stated.

The victim told her parents that she and Atkinson had met last July through the online video game Fortnite. Their friendship eventually "turned romantic in nature," the affidavit alleged, and the two then began corresponding on Discord, a communications app. The victim supposedly admitted that both of their ages had been made known to one another during their correspondence.
