A new report claims that Dr Disrespect’s DMs to a minor continued even once he found out the victim was underage.
The streamerclaimedthe conversations “sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate.”
“I went through a lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with Twitch and that case was resolved by a settlement. Let me be clear, it was not a criminal case against me and no criminal charges have ever been brought against me,” he said in alengthy poston X.
However, anew reportfrom esports journalist ‘Slasher’ has challenged Dr Disrespect’s narrative about the events.
According to Slasher’s report, Dr Disrespect not only knew that he was talking to a minor, but his conversations with her got more explicit after learning her age.
“I recall thatDr Disrespectwas made aware by the individual that they were underage during the conversation, after which he indicated that this was no problem and continued on,” a former Twitch trust and safety employee said. “There was no confusion. Messages sent after this was acknowledged were no less graphic and in sexually explicit nature than before, and I think more than the categorization of ‘leaning too much in the direction of being inappropriate’ might indicate.”
