Gamer arrested 'after rape overheard on gaming stream'

Wow this is horrible.

A Florida man has been charged after he was allegedly overheard raping a teenage girl on a PlayStation stream, US media report.

Reports say Daniel Enrique Fabian, 18, was playing Grand Theft Auto earlier this year when he allegedly assaulted a 15-year-old girl during a game break.

Another player alleged to police that Mr Fabian left a microphone on, and he heard a female in distress saying "no".

The alleged victim told police she was held down and raped by Mr Fabian.

A police affidavit says a medical examination supported the teenager's allegation, local media report.

The assault is alleged to have occurred in June at Mr Fabian's home in New Port Richey, western Florida.

Reports say he allegedly made a lewd comment about having sex with a girl he had coming over, before he returned to game-play about 15 minutes later.

It is not clear whether the other gamer was the person who reported the alleged assault, local network WFLA report.

The 18-year-old was arrested on Wednesday and has been charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a victim between ages 12 and 15 years old.

Local media say he is being held on a $30,000 (£23,000) bond at a local detention centre.

But on the bright side other gamers acted quickly and called the cops.

Basically wanted to remind everyone, you always have to be weary. See something say something isn't just a saying.

That's what happens when you play too much Rapelay.

Not SW related... At all. This thread is gonna be deleted.

He was on Playstation it says.

This could have been prevented if he was arrested for that hair-cut.

TBH I thought it was important, the more people see it the safer we are.

Not really sure if this topic belongs here but that is indeed quite horrible.

Over an isolated incedent? Stop.

Excuse me President Trump, but Political Gamer is that way>> Sir!

No, over being more weary on streaming in general, which is how this guy got cops called on him.

If it was moved it would be off-topic, not politics.

@zaryia: Dude. Not SW material. Sorry.

Alright fine, but for all those who saw this thread just act when u see something unusual.

That shit's fair, and it's true for literally anything. Inexcusible.

You would be surprised.

PS4 gamer you say...

@uninspiredcup: I'm sure that haircut will make him really popular in prison though.

Damn, that's messed up!

Wow. Sony would never condone this trash on their consoles. It was a former XBox player who switched to PS products during the XBox draught. 100% guaranteed.

What a tragedy.

We need to get these trashes off our consoles !

Florida Man strikes again

What the ****?

Damn that's horrible.

And I can't wait for Kotaku to now call rape a problem of gamers. I bet they'll spin it and say the audience loved every minute of it.

This thread still not locked?

EDIT: the fact that you use this despicable act to take a shot at another fanbase, shows that you are indeed the very trash you are talking about.

At what point did you think a serious subject like this was SW fodder?

@i_p_daily: For once I'm in 100% agreement with you on this.

The moment he read that it was a Playstation gamer he just had to post it on SW.

Well have our beloved game journalists spin it so as to point out how their hated gamers reinforced rape culture yet?

Irrelevant thread.

Why is this still open?

Supreme Court Justice in that mans future

Cows gonna cow...

:Sorry, just had too. lol P

Seriously? Do have half to do everything myself? How hard is it to just tag a moderator like @xantufrog to a thread such as this and let a mod do the rest.

Why can't you guys do something like this in the future?
