Twitch bans partnerships director who was accused of sexual misconduct Instagram: backwardsninja \/ TwitchTwitch has banned its partnership director, Hassan Bokhari, for an unknown reason roughly two months after several streamers accused the executive of sexual misconduct. Bokhari, known on the platform as simply \u2018Hassan,\u2019 is one of the most well-known members of Twitch staff among the site\u2019s community. Twitch bans are not uncommon at all, but the site banning one of its own employees is definitely something you don\u2019t see happen every day, whatever the reason might be. At the time of writing, there are reports connecting Hassan\u2019s Sept. 1 ban with the previous allegations levied against him, but Twitch hasn\u2019t provided a public explanation or reason for the ban yet, themselves. \u274c Twitch Partner “”Hassan”” (@hassanbokhari) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/InsvAMMpFP#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udcd3 \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) September 1, 2020 Twitch might never come out and give us a straight answer for why exactly Hassan has been banned, either. If we look back to the Dr Disrespect Saga, literal months have passed, and we still don\u2019t have a solid answer on why he got the boot. According to esports insider Rod \u2018Slasher\u2018 Breslau, Hassan\u2019s ban could be potentially connected to the sexual misconduct allegations from June, and happened after Twitch conducted their own investigations after screenshots surfaced and multiple streamers came forward with allegations. \u201cWe engaged a reputable third party from to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the allegations,\u201d an unnamed Twitch spokesperson told Slasher. \u201cWhile it is our policy to keep individual employment information confidential, the investigation has concluded and we have taken action in accordance with the investigator\u2019s findings.\u201d a Twitch spokesperson has provided me the following statement following the channel ban today of Hassan Bokhari, Twitch’s Director of Strategic Partnerships who had sexual misconduct allegations levied against him in June pic.twitter.com\/gGMKza1Atj \u2014 Rod Breslau (@Slasher) September 2, 2020 A ban from Twitch might not be the only thing Hassan has to worry about, either; With the investigation wrapped up, the staff member\u2019s employment with the site, on top of access to his channel, is up in the air \u2013 though we haven\u2019t seen any word or news regarding his employment status with the site, just yet.
