Dunnellon Man In His 30’s Hiding Ohio Teen He Met On Discord!
Thanks to the Attorney General and the diligence of the FBI a Lima Ohio teen is now back with her family. She was found in the home of a Dunnellon resident in his 30s after he found her on Discord and discussed video games. Thomas Ebersole drove to Ohio and picked up the minor. She was found when the MCSO was asked to check out his residence since the World of Warcraft account of the missing teen had logged in using his IP address. When MCSO made contact with Thomas Ebersole, he lied about knowing the teen, but deputies persisted. He produced the teen and confessed to deputies that he had been sexual with her.
MCSO stated that the messages between Ebersole and the victim on Discord “further outlined his plans to meet the victim in Ohio and engage in sexual activity despite knowing that he was committing a crime.”

This girl's mother had absolutely no idea that she was in contact with this man, much less that she had been in Florida since her disappearance on December 28th. Thomas Ebersole has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies.
