The allegations came to light on March 27, when he was accused of sending sexually explicit content to underage girls.

The team benched him and began an internal investigation the following day. The team played brussen last week in their match against the Defiant.

This is not the first time the Uprising have dropped a player for sexual misconduct. A DPS player for the Uprising in 2018 named DreamKazper was dropped by the Uprising and suspended from the Overwatch League indefinitely following such allegations.

The Uprising play again next week when they take on the Houston Outlaws.

The "girl" was 17 and he was what, 21? people acting like she was 11 and he's the next Jimmy Saville.

I don't think we are provided all the information to protect privacy of those involved (same with previous DK case). Like, if there is minors (what ever happens to age of consent in given state, where this has happened) involved don't expect to get much information. California seems to be 18 though.

I just hope the right people are provided the proper information to make a decision on and not let it come down to the social media judges as per usual.

Hope so. I feel like it was very much only option Blizzard (who ever actually is involved making these decisions) can do as they are marketing their games to kids and teens so they can't take risks to be involved in things like this even, if actions these players ever did would cause them nothing in public court.

Blizzard would not get Disney deal (again), if they had player like this in their broadcasts.

It frustrates me to no end that anyone not on the "mouffin is a predator" bandwagon gets called a disgusting rape apologist. Like you said, there better had been proper evidence to terminate his contract not just twitter conspiracies.

The problem here is that him "only" being 21 doesn't matter if he knowingly participated in the solicitation of a minor.

As for public opinion, well, Boston didn't have much of a choice, sexual harassment and the situation being what it was didn't really leave them with any other viable option.
