HERNANDO COUNTY, FL – On Thursday, December 30, 2021, Dylan B. Adams, who is currently active duty in the U.S. Navy, stationed in San Diego, California, flew into the Tampa Bay area to stay with family for the holidays. Prior to leaving San Diego, Adams and the victim who currently resides in Hernando County engaged in “flirting” via social media. Authorities noted that Adams and the victim knew one another prior to Adams enlisting in the Navy, as the two attended the same church in Pasco County.
The next day, Adams went to the victim’s residence while the victim’s mother was at work. It is at this time detectives say Adams performed various sex acts on the victim. Adams then left the residence and went to a local pharmacy where he purchased a “Plan B” pill. Adams took the pill back to the victim’s residence, provided it to her, and left again, taking all of the packaging with him leaving only the instructions, in the event the victim experienced side effects. Prior to leaving, Adams instructed the victim to delete all social media messages the two had exchanged.
According to authorities, on January 2, the victim reported the incident to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. Physical evidence was collected from the scene and from the victim.
