Emiru has accused Twitch of slowing down a police investigation after she was sexually assaulted during a meet-and-greet at TwitchCon 2025 in San Diego. According to the streamer, the company refused to immediately provide law enforcement with the suspect’s identifying information.
Event security and local police were contacted on-site. But when officers requested the suspect’s registration details from Twitch, Emiru alleges the company declined to hand over the information right away. Instead, Twitch routed the request through its legal department first.
Emiru claims this legal review process delayed the police response and potentially gave the alleged assailant time to leave the venue. She described the situation on stream, expressing frustration that Twitch prioritized limiting its own liability over helping officers act quickly.
The streamer also revealed that Twitch had previously barred her from bringing personal security into the convention. She says she raised safety concerns before the event but felt obligated to attend due to contractual commitments. Twitch required her to rely on event-provided security staff instead.
