In Fortnite: Battle Royale there was a sensational case in December 2018. A streamer became physical with his partner during a live stream on Twitch and was subsequently arrested. The trial has now commenced.
What happened? In early December 2018, there was a disturbing incident on Twitch. The streamer Luke “MrDeadMoth” Munday got into a heated argument live with his then-pregnant partner. She apparently wanted him to stop streaming and spend time with her and the kids, but he refused.
The situation escalated when the woman threw a cardboard box at him and he eventually flipped out and hit his girlfriend in front of the two children who were also present. The outburst of violence was partially visible, but primarily audible in the stream.
This led to a report being filed against the streamer.
The case is now in court and could have serious consequences for the former streamer.
Trial for Assault Begins
What is the charge? Munday has now been charged with assault. His partner also filed an “Apprehended Violence Order”, a type of restraining order, to keep Munday away from her and the children.
What punishment does he face? In court, the defendant pleaded guilty and admitted to slapping the woman.
There was also a previous charge of assault against Munday, which was unrelated to domestic violence. However, the man seems to have a problem with his aggression.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison under Australian law. The verdict is expected to be announced on August 26.
What happened to the streaming career? After the incident on Twitch became known, Munday received a 14-day ban from Twitch. He then resumed streaming, which led to widespread outrage on social media.
After all, other streamers have been banned for much less serious offenses for longer periods. Ultimately, Twitch relented and permanently banned MrDeadMoth’s channel.
