A Dairy Queen employee in Kansas allegedly used a customer's debit card to purchase an OnlyFans subscription, according to police.

Topeka Police Department (TPD) officers arrested 18-year-old Devin Brokmann on March 16 after a woman alerted them that her card had been used to buy a subscription without her knowledge, according to NBC-affiliate KSNT.

The outlet said the woman had visited a Dairy Queen in Topeka with kids for lunch and claimed the drive-thru cashier took a while to come back with her debit card.

She told KSNT that OnlyFans sent notifications to her phone for $5.99, $10.99 and $35.99 charges that had been made to her bank account.

The woman then claimed three more payments had been attempted on OnlyFans, although they were all declined.

OnlyFans is a subscription where people can view content from sex workers among other content.

According to KSNT, the woman telephoned OnlyFans and was the employee's name matched that on their account.

OnlyFans refunded the woman her money and shut down the account. She then notified the police.

Police later arrested Brokmann and charged him with theft, criminal use of a financial card and computer unlawful acts, false representation with damage.

The TPD said it was investigating whether Brokmann was the only person involved in the card theft, according to KSNT.

TPD Lieutenant Manuel Munoz told the outlet: "Detectives are still following up leads to make sure there were no other victims and or participants."

Newsweek has contacted the TPD for comment.

According to the legal information website Justia, under Kansas state law using a financial card is a Class A misdemeanor if the money, goods or services within a seven-day period are of the value of less than $1,000.

Brokmann is alleged to have used the card to buy an OnlyFans subscription, which is popular for hosting adult content.

The company had planned to ban "sexually explicit content" on its subscription site but did not go ahead following backlash from sex workers.

OnlyFans had originally announced the ban on August 19 and claimed the move was to "comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers."

The company had faced increasing scrutiny from payment providers, which included Mastercard, which imposed tougher restrictions on organizations that sold adult content.

Anti-pornography conservative groups had lobbied these groups under the guise of tackling sex trafficking and exploitation.
