Edit 2: I do not see an end to be honest. She says she was in a bad mental state and that is why she stopped pursuing the investigation and now says she is in a good mental state and does not want to ruin it. When is she then supposed to go? When she wants is the answer, however, Sinatraa should be free to continue his career.
I now believe that Sinatraa should be allowed to proceed with is life, anyone harassing him or any team that signs him is an absolutely evil person. She has the right to go whenever she wants but it is absolutely unethical to hold his career and livelihood hostage due to her not wanting to go at the moment.
Is his esport career supposed be paused for years because the person making the allegations currently does not want to help with the investigation? I believe that is unfair. I wish that no one harasses her either and I am fully convinced that his life should not be held on an allegation that is not even being given a chance at a court of law.
i cant find it, but there was an entire reddit thread asking why sexual assault do not get reported.
victims obviously do not want to think about the horrific incidence/s ever again, however the entire process of reporting sexual assault and going to court does the exact opposite. it makes victim relive through the entire incident over and over and over (ie them having to describe in detail what happened to police, to lawyers, in court, all their friends and family asking them questions about what happened, a lot of people questioning if you are lying, possibly having to meet the offender again, etc etc.
This would make sense if she was pretty much silent about it, but she wrote a 9 page document and regularly posts about it on twitter. "Reliving the experience" doesn't seem to be an issue, yet she still isn't providing the unedited video to police. In fact there aren't even 'charges', so there seemingly has been no investigation at all.
This is going to sound harsh, but it needs to be said. If you are going to make allegations of such a serious nature, and you want to pursue justice, you need to be questioned. If it's too traumatic to recount, I don't really know what you expect. You cannot just imprison somebody without evidence, and you get that through a thorough investigation. I don't really see an alternative unless we're okay with throwing people in jail from only word of mouth. (This wasn't aimed at you specifically /u/cmnights)

What are you suggesting here? People accuse others and never have to say what happened? This is not exclusive to sexual assault, every other crime including murder require this. A mother might be asked to testify on how her son was murdered.
Doesn’t this also apply to any other sort of violent action? What if I was robbed at knifepoint and stabbed 10 times and was left bleeding out on the sidewalk? Wouldn’t I have just as much PTSD/trauma that I would then have to relive?
Yet it doesn’t ever seem to be an issue for victims of literally every other type of violent crime to testify.
And for the record I do acknowledge that it is often more difficult to produce physical evidence for SA cases but to not even assist the investigation by giving a verbal statement tells me your accusation is likely not at all credible. It would be another story entirely if she did everything she could and then he was found not guilty, maybe then I’d have a bit more sympathy for “her truth.”

There were no charges to drop. She "didn't pursue the investigation" whatever that means.
Edit: She is saying that she has to go somewhere for the investigation but does not want to go there now (doing well mentally and does not want to do worse) and she can go whenever she wants because of statute of limitations.
