Dr Disrespect was an idiot messaging a minor using Twitch whispers (which you SHOULD be over 18 to use)
He WAS investigated, no criminality or illegal activities were found and 3 years later when Twitch banned him for this (might have been relating to a rule change caused by old media) they got sued and paid a settlement to Dr Disrespect
Twitch's child safety net is shit
What is unconfirmed:
Ex Twitch employees who hated Dr Disrespect MIGHT have honey trapped him with a FAKE minor and ILLEGALLY recorded his messages, these messages were the ones used in the investigation that found him innocent other than being an idiot. If this is all true then these ex employees and Twitch are REALLY fucked legally and extremely vulnerable to another lawsuit
Yeah, I was hearing this today, and my first thought was, "wait, didn't he basically confess to what he was being accused of?" I can't recall how he worded it off-hand, but it was the kind of post that made even all the "evidence or shut up" people say "well, he's fucked." Also saw a clip of how he ended his last stream; he looked down at his phone, and his expressions instantly became those of a doomed man, and he out of nowhere starts talking about just stopping, and getting out of (whatever he's affiliated with).

It's the clusterfuck that never ends!

This whole situation is screwed up.
