An 11-year-old girl in New Jersey was kidnapped by a man with whom she had interacted with while playing online video games like Roblox, according to law enforcement.
Investigators believe the suspect, identified as Darius Matylewich, and the victim had been communicating on several different gaming platforms and sites, the prosecutor's office confirmed to NBC New York. One such platform was Roblox, which allows players to create and play games created by other users.
Soon after she was reported missing, the girl was found by police in Bear, Del., the prosecutor's office said. Based on the investigation, police believe that the 27-year-old Matylewich brought the girl more than 130 miles away and across state lines, from Wayne to the Delaware town where he lives. Attorney information for Matylewich was not immediately clear. He faced a judge virtually from his jail cell on Monday, with a detention hearing postponed for Friday, Oct. 20.
