A Twitch streamer from Fresno, California has filed a civil lawsuit against a fellow streamer who claims that he sexually harassed her.

Travis Mellon, 35, goes by the name of ‘HJTenchi’ on Twitch, is suing cosplayer and streamer Danica Rockwood who accused Mellon of sexual abuse, harassment and sending inappropriate photos of himself, according to the Fresno Bee.

Rockwood, 28, posted on her Twitter page that Mellon took advantage of their friendship by asking for “lewd pictures” and “sexting texts”, and also created a Google document to compile complaints of other women that Mellon allegedly harassed.

Furthermore Rockwood called Mellon a “sexual abuser” during one of her live streams.

Mellon’s attorney Mark Coleman, of Nuttall & Coleman, said that the messaging between the two was consensual, when commenting on the matter in the article.

“In the context of their relationship the text messages were appropriate and reciprocated,” Coleman said, per the article.

Coleman wrote in the lawsuit that “She (Rockwood) urged women to turn on Mr. Mellon in an attempt to ruin his livelihood.” Coleman said that Rockwood’s supporters harassed Melon while he was streaming.

“Mr. Mellon was attacked multiple times in his Twitch broadcast’s chat for hours by people calling him a sexual assaulter, predator, etc.” according to the lawsuit filed by Mellon’s legal representation.

Mellon alleges that he and Rockwood were in an “online and in-person intimate relationship between the years of 2016-2018.”

Rockwood’s allegations were mentioned in an article on Wired detailing sexual harassment in the gaming industry.

A case management hearing is scheduled for November 19, 2020 in Fresno County Superior Court.
