[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] According to authorities, a 26-year-old Florida man has been arrested after admitting to sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.  Dillon Atkinson was taken into custody last Thursday after allegations emerged that he had sex with an underage victim he met while playing Fortnite.

Local police arrived at the young girl’s home after her parents discovered concerning chat logs on Discord, an instant messaging app, with user dillon_atkinson@icloud.com.

According to Law & Crime, when confronted, the 15-year-old admitted to “​​a sexual relationship with a 26-year-old male,” whom she confirmed to have met on Fortnite last July.

At the time, she further admitted to having “sexual intercourse multiple times, with the most recent incident occurring approximately two days ago.” One of the messages allegedly “indicated [Dillon] was at” the residence, prompting one of the parents to go “outside with his firearm,” but nobody was there.
