CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – A Fort Defiance, Virginia man, who created more than 1,000 usernames on web-based gaming and chat platform, Medal, to harass a victim he met online was arrested on Wednesday for federal cyberstalking.

Nicholas Andrew McMillion, 25, was arrested at his Fort Defiance home. He made his initial court appearance 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 Medal and Discord, 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. McMillion was blocked by Medal but Victim 1, who had tried to block him herself, continued to receive messages.

McMillion used Medal to convey death threats, sexually explicit acts, and threats of arriving at Victim 1’s physical location in Canada. Investigators determined that McMillion’s harassment caused a reasonable fear of death and bodily harm, thus his Wednesday arrest and charge.
