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
Also don't forget: they sat on this for YEARS and did nothing. If he was such a big child predator why leave him be to potentially predat again? The whole situation is entirely messed up, he was a huge idiot but I still want to see some hard evidence of what he supposedly has written to fully judge him.
That's what confused me. Why are you sitting on a story like this during the #MeToo era in 2017-2018? It was going to come out eventually (very high chance it would have been by accident to) and it makes Twitch look worse by covering it up.
I'm just saying it shows their priorities. They don't really care about children. And if they did, they wouldn't have cared about any NDAs or something like that.

It's the clusterfuck that never ends!
