CSGO caster Launders denies ex-girlfriend\u2019s allegations of assault YouTube: Northern ArenaCS:GO caster Mohan \u2018launders\u2019 Govindasamy has responded to allegations from his ex-girlfriend Melanie \u2018Passionite\u2019, who claims that he had sex with her without consent when they were in a relationship in 2017. On June 24, Melanie shared the story of the alleged assault and a handful of screenshots of text messages between the pair. She claims that she had been in physical pain and so refused his advance, but that Launders ignored this rejection. On June 26, Govindasamy shared his response, denying that he had ever had non-consensual sex with Melanie throughout their relationship. Their relationship began in 2017, when Launders was 26 and Melanie 18. In her Twitlonger, she claims: \u201cI didn\u2019t want to have sex one day (I wasn\u2019t feeling well). We both agreed the night before, and again the same day. we were sitting on his black futon when he started touching me. I told him directly to his face I did not want to have sex. \u201cHis response was \u2018I don\u2019t care. I want it now.\u2019 The look he gave me was terrifying.\u201d Launders responds to allegation Although Launders does not address the specific incident raised by Melanie, he explains that he first heard her make the accusation after he said he was calling the police to check up on her, due to threats of suicide. \u201cI told her directly that I would call [the police] if she didn\u2019t seek professional help. This is when she accused me of sexually assaulting her. She has not mentioned it since. I would like to make it very clear that I take the issue of consent very seriously, as I did throughout our relationship and I believe that every time we had sex, it was consensual.\u201d He claims that the allegations she made on June 25 follow a \u201cpattern\u201d of behavior, where she makes \u201cfalse\u201d accusations or threaten to hurt herself \u201cto stop me from calling the police.\u201d My reply to recent allegations \u2013 25\/06\/2020https:\/\/t.co\/Bq3g3S7j77 \u2014 launders (@launders) June 26, 2020 Concluding his response, Launders says: \u201cI take responsibility for my lack of judgment in instigating the relationship. She was young and was dealing with mental health problems. \u201cI wanted to help her but it should also have been clear she wasn\u2019t ready for a relationship. She needed a friend who could help her get the medical assistance that she needed, not the additional stress of a partner.\u201d The allegations are just one of many in the past two weeks, which have seen countless streamers, developers, esports talent, and industry figures accused of various transgressions, covering the entire scale of harassment and assault. Some of the biggest names caught up in serious allegations include YouTuber Syndicate, another CS:GO caster HenryG, and Dota personality TobiWan.
