Following an investigation into sexual abuse allegations and initial suspension in March, Jay "sinatraa" Won has been suspended for a period of six months until September 10, 2021 due to violation of Rule 8.1 of the Valorant Global Competition Policy.

This is literally all that was in the article at the time, I don’t blame you though, the writer shouldn’t have published it with so little information in the first place smh

He was suspended for violating rule 8.1 which has nothing to due with sexual abuse. He was suspended for not cooperating with the investigation. As the article states Riot referred the investigation to law enforcement which has not been completed yet. In the meantime Riot suspended him for 6 months for violating rule 8.1. If the external investigation of sexual abuse being done by law enforcement finds sinatraaa guilty I'm sure Riot would suspend him for even longer. What do you expect of Riot? For them to ban him for life for sexual abuse when the investigation isn't complete?

The ban is because he didn't cooperate with the investigation, not to do with allegations. Whether he is innocent or guilty has nothing to do with this suspension. If he is guilty, chances are he will be suspended for much longer. If he is innocent, he can begin playing professionally September 10.

Imagine the scandal it would create if he plays in Masters 3 and wins it and the day after he gets arrested. What a great look for this esports scene. That's why indefinitely is better, if he is proven innocent earlier, he can play earlier, if he is not, he can't. That simple.

I understand the your reasoning. Riot is in a no win situation here. Personally I think they have done the correct decisions. But whatever decision they take there's compromises. Do you ban a possible innocent person for a crime they may not have committed (And he is innocent right now. Whether people think he is guilty or not it doesn't matter. He's hasn't been found guilty legally. Riot has to look after themselves too. If Sinnatra is innocent, it leaves it wide open for Riot to be involved in a counter suit when he goes after his ex for basically ruining his career.)

If he is guilty, you look bad for the reasons you outlined. Riot has showed IMO they are taking this serious with the immediate suspension when this went live, and the 6 month ban for not cooperating.

Their not playing cops and laying law. Why do you think they referred the sexual abuse allegations to law enforcement? Sinatraaa signed a contract to play competitive valorant. In that contract includes rule 8.1 which sinatraaa violated causing the six month suspension.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough so you missed my point and stance completely. Ofc they should report such allegations and suspend him, duh.
In my book he'll always have an asterisk on his name.

I'm well-versed in contract law, ty. In general and philosophically though, I have questions and reservations how this will work in the future.

Let me have my doubts and stance, you may continue running around yapping and strawmanning. Have a good day, sir.

I like Sinatraa as a player but definitely not as a person.

Read this taken from the Valorant article: "It was determined that on at least two occasions Sinatraa misrepresented certain facts, made false statements, and did not cooperate with the investigation in a way expected of a professional VALORANT esports player. Of note, Sinatraa’s public commitment on social media to provide the full audio and video clip referenced in the original post was never fulfilled. Cooperation in these investigations is of the utmost importance, especially when the nature of the allegations is as serious as sexual assault. This behavior will not be tolerated by VALORANT Esports."

Not sure about this. 6 months?

"While the investigation did not come to a definitive conclusion on the underlying allegations, the Competitive Operations team had serious concerns with Sinatraa’s conduct during the course of the investigation."

So basically he got banned for 6 months because he failed to compy with the investigation, so is he a fucking rapist or not riot i want to know

Seems unlikely he goes back to sentinels. Even law enforcement may not be able to find a legal solution. Most likely could lead to some sort of settlement. The fact he isn't cooperating is not a good look regardless of what happened behind the scenes and is another reason a top-tier org would be hesitant to pick him up (actual allegations, obstruction/not cooperating, general persona of the dude)

Robert Downey Jr was addicted to drugs and didn't have sexual abuse allegations from what I know. Plus he owned up to his shit, went to treatment, and spent years proving he was a better person, all to get a second chance. I never liked sinatraaa at all, way to cocky and arrogant, prolly cuz he's so young. I wouldn't miss him. But imo cleos initial claims that she released to the public is nothing even close to what is needed to convict or even convince me of sexual assualt. Just my opinion. I do think he's a shitty person just saying the obective evidence isnt there.

There it is a big difference between them, Robert Downey having a drug addiction only effects him and his body, not to say it doesnt really matter if somebody has a drug abuse problem cause they are hurting themselves.
Now days having any type of rape or assault allegations can ruin your career even if at the end of the day the justice says u are not guilty in the public eye u will always have a black mark.
This means if u join a team sponsor or investors are not going to be interested on being vinculated to somebody with that "black mark" cause for some people even if it sounds baindead it would mean they suppot that type of behaviour.
Thats why Riot at first stance tryied to get involved in the situation cause they have history of that type of behaviour on their own, and would get punished in the public eye if they dont take action, the same goes with sentinels.
Sinatraa not cooperating with the investigation is what makes me worried fr, somebody who is not guilty has nothing to hide and the fact that he is hidding information makes the public eye believe that those accusations may be real.

"I said that I would provide the video/audio that she used in her statement because we genuinely thought that the video would have to be shared in full since it’s a key part in the investigation. However that did not happen and I should not have promised something I could not personally deliver.

I hurt Cleo emotionally and I’m truly sorry about it. I will learn from my mistakes and keep on trying to improve myself as a person".

here's the thing, courts very rarely are able to find ppl guilty on rape and abuse cases because the level of proof is very high and much of the physical proof ceases to exist relatively quickly. So Cleo may be telling the truth and Sinatra's still not found guilty doesn't hes innocent. This is well documented (you can even Google it and tell me I'm lieing if you want) and part of the reason less cases are being reported in the first place and more come out on social media
