HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) – A Fort Defiance man, who created more than 1,000 usernames on the web-based gaming and chat platform Medal to harass a victim he met online, was arrested Wednesday on federal cyberstalking charges.

25-year-old Nicholas Andrew McMillion was arrested at his home in Fort Defiance and charged via federal criminal complaint with cyberstalking. McMillion made his initial court appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville and is being held pending a detention hearing.

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.
