Anderson also allegedly rented an apartment in Montgomery County to be near the teenager, Telemundo62 reported.

The charges concern Anderson’s alleged conduct. They are not findings of guilt, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Other recent cases have also involved teens and online platforms. Six teenagers were detained in Brazil in an online blackmail investigation, and a Massachusetts teen was arrested after school threats were flagged in a gaming chat.
