[Large Update] OWL pro DreamKazper indefinitely suspended after allegations of sexual misconduct with minors

Update 3 for which I really hope is the final update in this:

Heavy.com did an exclusive interview with the second girl who is remaining anonymous

Quote

 

Another girl made accusations (backed with screenshots) that the now former Overwatch League player solicited pictures from her while knowing she was just 15 years old. DreamKazper, whose real name is Jonathan Sanchez, is 21.

Now, a second girl — this time 16 — has come forward. In her own words, the girl told Heavy the following, talking about Jonathan “DreamKazper” Sanchez and his solicitation of pics and a meetup:

“He was messaging/facetiming/etc with me. He told me he liked me and even bought me a plane ticket to go and see him, pressured me to send him nudes, etc…”

Here are the details we’ve uncovered. First, Sanchez purchased this 16-year-old girl airline tickets to meet up, the girl says. Before they actually met up, the girl cancelled last-minute, claiming her mom wouldn’t let her actually make the trip.

Below, you’ll find a few bits from the conversation provided to Heavy, showing that Sanchez offered to pay and was aware of her age (claiming he is just two years older).

The girl also provided snapshots of her sending the pics (with giant emojis on top of them as to protect herself, of course) and his response to those pics. However, Heavy will not be posting those.

Now the major problem that's been reported is that, yes this does break laws but which laws exactly, According to Heavy the laws that are violated is: 

Quote

 

The age of consent in Atlanta (where the girl is from) is 16 years old. However, the AOC in California is 18 years old. According to federal law, “knowingly using a telecommunications device to make, create, solicit, or initiate transmission of any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene or child pornography, knowing that the recipient of the communication is under 18 years of age, to harass any person.”

Federal law also says, “Using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce to entice or coerce someone younger than 18 years of age to engage in sexual activity is a crime punishable by fine and not less than 10 years imprisonment or life.”

 

 

10 years minimum punishment, assuming the local police are investigating (I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't) A new twitter account by the name of TracerLU was created and she posted all the evidence she provided to Heavy, excluding any nudes, etc.

Seeing shit like this, I don't even know what to make of it, "I expect jaw dropping pics" riiiiiiight. 

Update 2:

DK has since been terminated from Boston Uprising, making me consider if they believed the scandal to be true. 

Dotesports have also released some more information on the other female involved

Quote

 

Another young woman spoke to Dot Esports on the condition of anonymity with similar accusations against DreamKazper. The 16-year-old told Dot Esports that DreamKazper had purchased her a plane ticket to visit him in California. When she cancelled the trip, she said he requested nude photographs that she owed him for the trouble. Dot Esports has confirmed details of the story with the woman involved.

 

 

 

Update 1:

There has been another update to this story,

Another minor who has come out and spoken to journalists about similar experiences with DreamKazper. How far does this go? 

Original: 

Source: Twitter, PCGamerN

Overwatch League has been hit by another scandal this time with a professional player called Jonathan ‘DreamKazper’ Sanchez after some damning allegations and pictures went public of him having sexually explicit chats and sending nudes (unverified) to a 14-year-old girl. He knew her age at the time. OWL (Overwatch League Management) has issued an immediate statement declaring an immediate and indefinite suspension of the player.  This scandal comes off the back from 2 weeks ago where a pro player called xQc was permanently banned for using racially motivated speech in Twitch chat (TriHard 7). Boston Uprising (DreamKazpers team) has issued a brief statement on the matter. For clarification, DreamKazper is 21, the girl in question is 14. 

Quote

Overwatch League player Jonathan ‘DreamKazper’ Sanchez has been indefinitely suspended from the Overwatch League after chat messages that are apparently between him and a 14-year-old fan were shared on Twitter.

Both the Overwatch League and Boston Uprising tweeted statements saying that they are aware of allegations against Sanchez and that he is “suspended indefinitely” pending investigation.

The allegations stem from a collection of (currently unverified) screenshots, and a post stating that Sanchez, who is 21, engaged in a series of conversations with a 14 year-old fan, some of which were of a sexual nature. The post and one of the screenshots suggest Sanchez was aware of the fan’s age during the conversations.

Sanchez plays DPS for Boston Uprising, who are currently fourth in the Overwatch League standings, with a 14-8 record. Both Uprising and the League are investigating the allegations. Sanchez is yet to release a public statement.

Personally, after looking at the screenshots that have been provided, it's fucking disgusting and, I hope, this will be passed on to the authorities, because this is fucked up. OWL is currently going under so many scandals the past few weeks it's crazy, first xQc's racism and now this. Don't think major investors into OWL would be too pleased. 

Statements from OWL and Boston Uprising.

This is still developing.

Lily's statement (she was the 14 y/o)

Spoiler

 

  1.         *All allegations are backed by screenshots that have been provided through a link at the end of my statement. Please read all of them keeping in mind that this is a conversation between a 14 year old and a 21-year-old.*
  2.         I want to address something that I’ve kept in the dark for too long. I am Lily, I am 14 years old and in 9th grade. I was taken advantage of by a 21-year-old player for the Overwatch League. He abused his power as a player to coerce me into sending him nude pictures and engaging in explicit facetime activities.
  3. I have an account on Twitter with the purpose of posting Overwatch League content to support my favorite teams. One day out of the blue, I was followed by one of the players for Boston Uprising, DreamKazper. It caught me off guard but I was flattered, so I dmed him thanking him for the follow. He continued to strike up conversations, which made me feel special that an Overwatch League player actually wanted to talk to me.
  4. During one of the first conversations, he offered to buy me a PC copy of Overwatch. I thought it was strange he was offering to spend money on me, but I was still in shock it was all happening. I accepted and we played together, sometimes with some teammates of his.
  5. Early into the friendship, I had told Kaz I was only 14. I had figured it would have drove him away, but he continued to have interest in talking to me which I didn't mind. Over the first few days we talked, he progressively got more and more flirty. Complimenting my appearance, and making sexual innuendos that I shrugged off at the time.
  6. As time progressed, it became apparent that we were more than friends. Things started getting sexual very quickly. I had recently gotten out of a relationship and was incredibly vulnerable. The attention he was giving me had blinded me from seeing that what was happening was wrong.
  7. He followed a few of my mutuals at the time and we have a group chat that we added him to. He brought the same sexual comments over into the group chat, knowing most of us were underage. He would continually joke about having my friends nudes, watching porn, and even told the story of him losing his virginity. The group chat has thousands of messages so I could not scroll back up enough to find his texts on it.
  8. Very quickly things escalated between us and I was given his phone number and Snapchat. On Snapchat things disappear quickly, so we would engage in sexual conversations that lead to me sending him a total of two explicit images. He would send me shirtless pictures of him in his boxers on Snapchat, but on Facetime everything was exposed. I obviously cannot show that proof, but the things he has said in screenshots seems to backup my claim. I have proof that we facetimed, the screenshot has a few numbers unblurred to confirm his phone number is actually him.
  9. At the time, it felt nice to have an Overwatch League player be so heavily interested in me. It brought me a lot of confidence, and at the time I was so wrapped up in it, I didn't realize how wrong the situation was.
  10. I developed feelings for Kaz, which I could tell were unhealthy by as intense as they were getting. He had called me his “dream girl” and really toyed with my feelings. I came to the realization that as a relationship we couldn't work. Our ages were too far apart and it was starting to feel wrong. At this point I completely cut him out of my life. I later discovered he had been talking to other girls as well, not to mention having a girlfriend at the time.
  11. After talking with close friends on the subject over the course of a month, I realized what a power dynamic it was. I'm stepping forward to hope this doesn’t happen to anyone in the future. DreamKazper should have known better to engage in explicit activity with someone seven years younger than him, especially when he represents a team. He used his social status to blind and take advantage of me.

For starters, this guy needs to be castrated. Secondly, WTF did I just get done reading? WTF is bbfbtennyenbymnt? The grammar is horrible throughout the whole thing. The only thing worse that the horrible spelling, sentence structure, and lack of coherent though is this guy being a freaking pred. It's guys like this that will give gamers a bad name.

How old is DreamKazper for reference?

Yeah, I couldn't guess. He looks he's around early 20's, but his writing looks like he's 5.

Sometimes you read about cases and think, well she was 15-16 and lied about her age etc...

 

But then you see ones like this, where she fully disclosed her age early on and he claims he has her friends involved as well, and just the general nature of the conversations are truly disgusting.

 

Honestly I hope he gets slammed up for a long time with the slipperiest bar of soap.

I thought the whole xQc thing was different as he had used the emote before when he gets in chat or something like that. On topic: While the evidence seems pretty clear, I still want to see how this plays out legally. Yes it can be edited to look like that, but police can see the actual messages on her phone then it should be confirmed. If this is true, that is just straight up predatory behavior and he needs to receive the proper disciplinary action.

The girl posted on Twitter a full video of her refreshing and going through the Twitter DMs but I really hope OW coordinate with the police to work this out legally.

OH DANG, wow. I still thought he was guilty, I just always like to give a very thin benefit of doubt in situations like these. That is very condemning evidence. There was always something I never did like about Uprising. The jokes or language of the other players is one thing, but actively asking a knowingly underage girl for such activities is a whole other level of messed up.

What a piece of sh*t!  I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this guy is permanently locked out of Overwatch, of not all Blizzard games, because this would make Blizzard look bad if they were soft with him.

You mean, him face timing with a girl whose dad looks like this didn't give it away?

 

-snip-

My guess is that her dad didn't know about any of this until this lawsuit started.  Yes, for now, he's gonna be focused on putting this guy behind bars, but I would expect that some serious talks/consequences are coming Lily's way.  She should've known better and obviously didn't, which is a problem.

No legal action has begun as of yet, only an investigation by OWL and Boston Uprising, but if her dad knew, I'd be doing other things than putting this guy in prison, that's for sure.

I have a friend who does forensics... She's pretty disgusted when she has to ask a teen to sign a legal document, and they go to print their name.... They apparently don't know what a signature is these days. FML.

To be fair Cursive is finally fading out and since signatures are cursive based it makes sense.
