Dreamkazper has been indefinitely suspended from Boston Uprising and the Overwatch League following allegations of sexual advances towards an underage girl.

Update 1: There are new allegations surfacing against Dreamkazper as more victims find the courage to come forth.

Update 2: Boston Uprising has terminated their contract with Dreamkazper effective immediately.

The decision comes after serious allegations against the DPS player which have threatened to stop his career in its tracks. The Player has been involved in pursuing a romantic and potentially sexual relationship with an underage girl. The girl is believed to be around 14-15 years old and she has been the recipient of sexual advances from the player.

Dreamkazper is one of the best DPS players in the Overwatch league. He has been a core component of the Boston Uprising roster and in its success in the Overwatch League. The Boston Uprising roster did

does not seem to be a recipe for success when it was announced. However, the team perfected their dive and coordination and have emerged as one of the strongest teams in the Overwatch League.

The allegations surfaced yesterday when a public statement by the victim brought the focus on the player’s actions. Jonathan “DreamKazper” Sanchez is alleged to send lewd pictures of himself as well as having received pictures from the victim. She is just 14-15 years old and there was the obvious case of Dreamkazper using his position to influence her. His fame and position as an Overwatch League player put a lot of pressure on the fan.

The Victim’s Statement

The Victim released a statement after deliberations with her friends. The fact that Dreamkazper already had a girlfriend and was toying with her feelings is just wrong.

*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.* 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. 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 dm’ed 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. 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. 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. 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. He followed a few of my mutuals at the time and we have a group chat that we added him to. Dreamkazper 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. 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 or 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. 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. 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. 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. EDIT: Screenshots have been included at the end of the link showing DreamKazper saying he knew my age.

There is tons of evidence corroborating her statement. There have also been witnesses coming forth to back her statements. Right now we have not heard anything from the player

There are multiple screenshots included which clearly indicate Dreamkazper’s intentions. He also had knowledge of her age and the fact that she was just 14-15 years old.

She has also posted proof of her FaceTime with Dreamkazper. In one such instance, she has been face-timing with the Professional player for more than an hour. While this is not indicative of anything, there are further screenshots which clearly indicate Dreamkazper’s sexual advances towards the underage girl.

There are several more screenshots posted on the internet by the victim. It is clear that Dreamkazper knew what he was doing and felt it was not wrong. His sexual advances towards an underage girl are unwarranted and unethical.

Dreamkazper indefinitely suspended from the League and Boston Uprising

Boston Uprising and the Overwatch League have initiated action against the player. The team suspended the player for an indefinite duration as they investigate the allegations against the player.

Earlier today the Overwatch League was made aware of the allegations against Jonathan “DreamKazper” Sanchez. He is suspended indefinitely while the league investigates this matter. — Overwatch League (@overwatchleague) April 8, 2018

The Overwatch League followed a similar path as they have indefinitely suspended the player from the Overwatch League. While under suspension, the league will be actively investigating the allegations against the player. If the allegations are found true, we can expect further action to be taken by the league.

The quick decision definitely shows the seriousness of the allegations. Professional players should not be using their positions of power to have an influence on their underage fans.
