UPDATE: Christopher Rodriguez pleaded not guilty to both charges in court Monday.
A former U.S. Navy sailor from Florida was extradited to Stafford County, Va., this month, accused of planning to drug the mother of a 14-year-old girl he met through a vampire gaming site and wanted to seduce, The Miami Herald reported.
"This one is a little strange," said Stafford Sheriff’s Detective Thomas P. Leonard. "He came all the way up here and brought sleeping medication to give to the parents. They don’t take real kind to that stuff in Stafford."
Christopher Rodriguez, 28, of Homestead, Fla., planned to have sex with the girl, who he met as BeautifulArsyB***h through the online, vampire-themed, role-playing game Reign of Blood, The Herald reported. He took a train to Virginia to attend a Halloween party, after which, he intended to take her home to have sex, Leonard said.
But he couldn't do that with BeautifulArsyB***h's family around, so he allegedly crushed some sleeping pills and anti-depressants into a powder he intended to slip into the food of the girl's mother and sister, The Herald reported.
At the party, an adult confronted Rodriguez after seeing him give the girl the powder, deputies said. The girl's mother then picked her up and took her home, and Rodriguez followed and ended up throwing rocks at the girl's bedroom window to get her attention, The Herald reported.
She told him to leave. According to deputies, Rodriguez did leave, but proclaimed his love and said “nothing was going to stop him” from one day returning to claim her.
Later, realizing Rodriguez was serious, the girl told her mother, who called deputies.
Rodriguez, who used the handle Gladivas on Reign of Blood, met BeautifulArsyB***h there in 2009, The Herald reported. The two knew each other's real age, according to court documents.

Eventually, through other web programs, the two exchanged photos, even nude ones, and Rodriguez used a webcam to broadcast his sex acts, according to police.
The girl later told police that “they were virtually married on the game, and [she] truly believed she loved [Rodriguez] in real life. She stated that was the reason she agreed to let him come visit her,” a search warrant said.
The Stafford County Sheriff's Office worked with Miami-Dade police in the investigation, which led to a raid of Rodriguez's home on March 9.
Rodriguez, who served in the Navy from 2003 to 2006 and suffered an injury that put him on disability, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges of soliciting a minor and distribution of a controlled substance to a juvenile, The Herald reported. He faces up to 80 years in prison.
