[KS] [KS] How would law enforcement contact me if my text messages are reviewed?
I was groomed online at 15 by a 23-year-old on Discord. We had a romantic/sexual relationship. He lives in a different state. He was recently arrested for online solicitation of a minor after Discord tipped police; his devices were seized. Can they see our messages, and will Kansas or Mississippi police contact me?

If his devices were seized, your chats could be reviewed. Discord may turn over history if subpoenaed (K.S.A. 22-3214). If investigators find your conversations relevant, you might be contacted—possibly by local Kansas authorities. Even if your messages weren’t used initially, they could be later. Since you haven’t contacted police, it’s reasonable to wait unless they contact you. If they do, you can speak with an attorney before answering questions. I hope this answered your questions; reach out if you need more help.
