A Valorant Esports committee has issued a six-month suspension to Jay "Sinatraa" Won following an investigation into sexual assault allegations levied at the former Overwatch MVP last March.

The Competitive Operations team, a committee within Valorant Esports responsible for enforcing policy regulations, said the suspension was a result of Won "failing to fully cooperate with the Tournament Operator's investigation." This transgression is in direct violation of Rule 8.1 of the Valorant Global Competition Policy, the committee said in the announcement.

The committee detailed how it came to suspend Won. During the course of the investigation, the Competitive Operations team deferred the process of fact-gathering to the authorities after it learned that the matter was brought to law enforcement. As the investigation was underway, the committee said it had "serious concerns with [Won's] conduct." There were at least two instances of Won misrepresenting certain facts, making false statements, and failing to cooperate with the investigation "in a way expected of a professional Valorant esports player," the committee said.
