“I should have never entertained these conversations to begin with,” Beahm wrote. “That’s on me. That’s on me as an adult, a husband and a father.” Beahm apologized to his “team, community, [and] industry friends” in his statement. Beahm also said no criminal charges were ever brought against him and “nothing illegal happened.” Beahm did not address the allegation he asked a minor about their plans at TwitchCon but said he “never even met the individual.”<\/p>
In reply to his post, several commenters expressed their support for Beahm, while many others pointed out that Beahm edited out the term “minor” from the original statement before restoring it later after people drew attention to it.<\/p>
