LAKELAND, FL. – Detectives with the Lakeland Police Department’s Special Victim’s Unit, with the assistance of the Columbia City Police Department in Indiana, have arrested 35-year-old Tabitha Palmer related to criminal acts involving a minor in Lakeland whom she met online while playing video games.

On June 9, 2021, the parent of the victim, an 11-year-old boy, reported finding inappropriate content of a sexual nature on her son’s tablet.

Upon interviewing the victim and a forensic review of his tablet, detectives discovered evidence of an inappropriate online relationship that developed between Palmer and the victim over the course of approximately seven to eight months. Initially, Palmer and the victim met and communicated while playing the online video game Fortnite.

In May of this year, Palmer began communicating with the victim on the communications platform Discord, and the context of the messages became increasingly sexual in nature. Over the period of one month, Palmer and the victim exchanged approximately 14,300 messages through the Discord platform.

Obviously he thought she was going to look like her avatar and then SURPRISE!
