FORT LAUDERDALE — A Florida man is charged with unlawful sex with a minor and child pornography.

The Florida Attorney General's Office on Thursday announced the arrest of Anthony Gene Thomas. The 41-year-old met the underage girl through the online video game Fortnite, according to News 6.

Investigators believe there could be as many as 20 additional victims.

Officials said the 17-year-old victim initially had contact with a 23-year-old woman, who then introduced the victim to Thomas.

Thomas and the woman arranged in August to pick up the teen in Brevard County and bring her back to Broward County.

Law enforcement served a search warrant in October. Authorities said Thomas had pornographic images and videos of the victim on his phone.

No charges were immediately filed against the woman.

Jail records didn't list an attorney for Thomas.
