Brandywine Man Faces Charges For Revenge Porn, Stalking, Shooting At Ex

BRANDYWINE, MD — Twenty-seven charges have been filed against a 31-year-old Brandywine man that include stalking, disseminating non-consensual pornography and other firearms charges in connection to three shootings.

Nahvarj Mills has been detained since February 2024. According to court documents, Mills and the alleged victim, his former significant other, began dating in December 2022. Mills physically abused the victim on multiple occasions, according to court documents. In the summer of 2023, the victim ended the relationship with Mills. Angry about the breakup, Mills began contacting the victim by phone. He appeared at her workplace in Maryland, uninvited, and at her home in the District. Mills threatened to distribute sexually explicit images of the victim and then went through with his treat, officials said.

On Nov. 23, 2023, the victim received text messages stating, “Got no job, got no kids, got no family. I have nothing to do. But what I do have, is the money to keep bothering you.” On Dec. 31, 2023, the victim received 30 phone calls from “No Caller ID.” The calls followed an attempt by the victim to meet up with Mills in an effort to make amends. Those efforts ended when Mills pulled out a gun and pointed it at the victim’s head, court documents stated.

On Jan. 2, the victim reported Mills’ conduct to the MPD and filed a petition for a civil protection order. The victim’s mother also electronically served Mills with a temporary protection order at his known phone number. In the same conversation, Mills sent the mother numerous sexually explicit photos and videos of the victim. Mills also wrote, “I can easily pull this .40 trigger,” followed by photos of a firearm and ammunition that appear consistent with the .40 caliber firearm and ammunition later recovered from Mills’ home pursuant to a residential search warrant, according to court documents.

Also in early January, Mills allegedly created a fake Instagram account in the victim’s name. The victim then received several messages from the account threatening to disseminate sexually explicit images and videos of her. Mills later made good on his threat and sent out the images and videos to several individuals who knew the victim. On Jan. 6, Ring camera footage captured footage of a man believed to be Mills outside the victim’s home. The man spread typed-out paragraphs containing threatening messages along with explicit images. A few days later, on Jan. 11, the victim found more sexually explicit photos on her lawn, court documents showed.

On Jan. 19, a D.C. Superior Court Judge granted a the protective order that stated Mills had to stay away from the victim, her home, her workplace, her vehicle and her family. On Jan. 20, Mills again spread sexually explicit images outside the victim’s home. At that time, the victim saw Mills in her front yard and saw him return to a vehicle along with another individual, court documents stated.

Also on Jan. 20, Mills allegedly spread sexually explicit images outside another victim’s home. He also reportedly sent numerous unwanted and threatening text messages and made unwanted calls to this victim. Mills has now been charged with one count of cyberstalking in connection to this victim.

The campaign of stalking and violence against the first victim escalated in late January 2024. Three separate shootings targeted the victim’s bedroom on Jan. 21, Jan. 22 and Jan. 23. The third shooting happened after Mills called the victim and threatened to kill her. On Jan. 26, Mills returned to the victim’s home where police arrested him and charged him with violating the protection order. The court ordered Mills to stay away from the victim and not contact her but Mills continued to contact the victim, documents show.

On Feb. 7, Mills was arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. On July 18, a federal grand jury returned an initial seven-count indictment and Mills was transferred to federal custody. Mills has been charged with cyberstalking in violation of a protective order; cyberstalking; interstate stalking in violation of a protection order; interstate stalking in violation of a protection order – emotional distress, use of a dangerous weapon; two counts of interstate stalking in violation of a protection order – bodily injury, emotional distress, use of a dangerous weapon; interstate violation of a protection order; three counts of interstate violation of a protection, use of a dangerous weapon; three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon; possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence; interstate communications with intent to extort; assault with intent to kill while armed; three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon; three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence; and four counts of first degree unlawful publication.
