FARGO, N.D. (trfnews.i234.me) – Melanie Lynn Atkinsvahary, a 30-year-old woman from Farmerbranch, Texas, is facing charges in North Dakota after allegedly having a sexual relationship with an underage teen.
According to court documents, on December 5, 2023, the teen’s guardian reported the alleged relationship to police. The guardian claimed that Atkinsvahary had admitted to having sex with the 16-year-old during an audio recording.
The teen initially told police that they only had an “emotional relationship,” but Snapchat data reportedly revealed fully nude photos and videos of both individuals.
Court documents also indicate that there were chats between Atkinsvahary and the teen where she instructed him to delete conversations and change his passcode. She allegedly begged the guardian not to report her, fearing it would lead to losing custody of her children.
Atkinsvahary has been charged with promoting a sexual performance by a minor, corruption of a minor (victim over 15), defendant 22 or older, and contributing to the deprivation or delinquency of a minor. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 19.
