Twitchstreamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa might be one of the most popular content creators on the site, but recently she’s been dealing with the dangerous side of that popularity. WhileAmouranth has been dealing with a stalkerthat she took very seriously, it appears at least one member of the local police didn’t grant the situation the weight it deserved.
Earlier this month, theTwitchstreamer started detailing a situation where a man from Estonia traveled all the way to the United States to get physically close to her. Over the last few weeks, she’s put some of the evidence she had against this stalker, including pictures that he sent her on social media. However, she also talked about the fact that despite compiling these pieces of evidence, she didn’t feel that law enforcement was reacting to the situation correctly.

Eventually,Amouranth’s stalker was arrestedwhen he showed up at her house. However, the streamer also wanted to make it clear that she felt as though only arresting him once he came to her house wasn’t nearly enough and talked about how the attention on her case had ratcheted up in the last few weeks. She added that “shining a spotlight” on cyberstalking was something that was quite important, pointing out that at least one police detective had even told her that cyberstalking was “not a real threat.”
Amouranth said that when she talked to this detective from her jurisdiction, the law enforcement official had downplayed the situation. However, she eventually got a call from “on high” that seemed to demonstrate someone higher up the chain did indeed take it a bit more seriously.
WhileAmouranth has her detractorsand “haters,” she’s also one of the most influential streamers on Twitch, and that likely helped get her situation some extra attention from those higher-ups. She said that was one of the reasons she continued to try and shine the light on these kinds of cyberstalking situations for all influencers and “even non-influencers.”
For her part, the Twitch streamer seems undeterred by the situation and is apparently going to keep doing what has made her successful thus far. Indeed, what she has been doing can lead to some people taking it in a dark direction, but she’s also had an almost unprecedented level of success regarding streamers. That success in streaming has allowedAmouranth to succeed in the business worldthat she has often talked about, allowing her to retire quite comfortably someday.
