German Twitch streamer ZoeMatthea encountered again the person she said had been stalking and harassing her for about two years, during a live stream on her way to Gamescom in Cologne. The streamer, who became uneasy when the person, previously reportedly warned by police, appeared before her, tried to move away from where she was. The encounter was captured live on the stream moment by moment.
German Twitch streamer ZoeMatthea's stalking case, which she says has been ongoing for about two years, came to the fore after a renewed encounter in Cologne. The streamer, who was in Cologne for Gamescom, came face to face with the person she said had previously harassed her during her IRL stream on her way to the event. It is seen that ZoeMatthea did an IRL stream of about 6 hours from Cologne on August 26, and on the same day, a section titled "Dokumentation stalking" was recorded.
HE APPEARED IN FRONT OF HER AT THE TRAIN STATION
In the shared clip of about 1.5 minutes, ZoeMatthea is seen at a train station. During the stream, ZoeMatthea notices that the person in question is near her, and it is understood that she becomes uneasy and starts checking her surroundings.
In the video, after a while, a man is seen passing by near the streamer, and ZoeMatthea tries to move away from her spot after the encounter.
"HE HAS BEEN HARASSING ME FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS"
It was stated that the German streamer said that this person has been following and harassing her for about two years. In posts sharing the incident in the German Twitch community, it was claimed that the person had previously been warned by the police. It is also reported that ZoeMatthea has talked about what she experienced with this person in the past and the disturbing messages she says were sent to her.
The presence of a one-minute clip named "Dokumentation stalking" dated August 26 on the streamer's Twitch channel confirms that the incident was directly addressed on her own stream.
SHE SHARED THE POLICE'S RESPONSE
After the incident came back into the spotlight, it was reported that ZoeMatthea also shared the response she received regarding her application to the police. According to the response reported by German Twitch news accounts, authorities stated that based on the available information, it could not be determined that ZoeMatthea had clearly told the person in question that she no longer wanted any form of contact with him. Therefore, it was stated that the conditions for the offense of stalking could not be established.
This detail is based on the report of the police response that ZoeMatthea is said to have shared; there is no independent and detailed official statement available from the Cologne police regarding the incident.
THE ENCOUNTER ON LIVE STREAM BROUGHT IT TO THE AGENDA
ZoeMatthea has about 46,000 followers on Twitch and primarily does IRL, gaming, and chat streams. The Gamescom stream on August 26 lasted about six hours and reached up to 767 concurrent viewers.
After the process that the streamer says has been ongoing for two years, her renewed encounter with the same person on the way to Gamescom caused the incident to be discussed again in the German Twitch community.
