Twitch streamer Jessica “SheSnaps” also posted her statements in a blog post, where she said:

“When we sat on the bus together, that’s when things crossed a major line for me. The little things here and there may seem insignificant but paired with the weird behaviors and body language and the fact that it was dark on the bus, it really stuck out to me and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.”
