Dafran continues to defend Sinatraa following Riot investigation announcement

As more details are revealed about Riot Games investigation into Valorant player Jay ‘Sinatraa’ Won, former OWL pro Daniel ‘dafran’ Francesca has once again defended him following his suspension. 

In early 2021 Sentinels player and Valorant star Sinatraa was accused of sexual assault by former girlfriend Cleo ‘cle0h’ Hernandez.

Earning a suspension from both Valorant and Sentinels, Sinatraa has laid low on social media throughout the official Riot investigation. This investigation has concluded with a further six month suspension because of “serious concerns with [his] conduct,” including the fact he “misrepresented certain facts, made false statements and did not cooperate.”

He continues by calling out cle0h for choosing to withhold the video. “Cle0h has a full video of the rape happening (from where the audio “proof” is from). She has the chance to united states of smash Sinatraa out the galaxy but decides to withhold it? Hmmm.”

Further comments state “as long as I see people calling Sinatraa a rapist, I will defend him. Someone has to balance it out. Stop spreading misinformation and I will stop saying sh*t like this, I promise.”
