Overview
- Police say Bryan Nevin began contacting a Missouri boy on Xbox in December 2024 and escalated to threats and coercion across Xbox, Snapchat and TikTok over months.
- Detectives say Nevin traveled from Edinburgh to northern Missouri and was found hiding in bushes outside the family’s Chillicothe home on Sunday, July 12, before briefly leaving the property.
- Nevin voluntarily met with Chillicothe police on July 13, admitted receiving nude images and acknowledged going to the home uninvited and sending threatening messages.
- He was booked into the Caldwell County jail on July 14 on felony stalking and harassment charges, held without bond, and faces a separate Missouri ICAC investigation into alleged child sexual abuse material.
- Prosecutors asked for an arrest warrant rather than a summons because Nevin is a U.K. citizen with no local ties, and a bond hearing is scheduled for July 20 as the cross‑border case and platform evidence are reviewed.
