Two French streamers received suspended jail terms following the \u200cdeath of a man they had subjected to violence and humiliation for several days on his own live video stream, \u200bapparently with his consent, a lawyer for one of the accused said.<\/p>\n
The Nice criminal court found the two men guilty of inflicting violence on 46-year-old Raphael Graven, known online as Jean Pormanove, and also of incitement to hatred for \u200bthe insults they directed at him.<\/p>\n
They were not accused of killing him as his death, while he and his abusers slept, \u2060appeared to have been due to poor health.<\/p>\n
The incident, aired on the streaming platform \u200cKick, \u200cshocked many \u200bin France last summer as they discovered how disturbing content aired on fringe parts of the internet can be.<\/p>\n
Officials called for more regulation \u2060and stronger moderation, and the audiovisual and \u200bdigital regulator Arcom and the Paris prosecutor’s office \u200bopened investigations into the Australia-based Kick.<\/p>\n
The streamers, Safine Hamadi and Owen Cenazandotti, said the violence and humiliations had \u200cbeen scripted and partly staged, and that \u200bGraven had consented to everything.<\/p>\n
Hamadi, who expressed remorse during the trial, received an 18-month suspended \u2060prison sentence and must pay a \u20ac5,000 \u2060fine, his lawyer said.<\/p>\n
“The \u200bconviction is mainly symbolic. We are satisfied with the ruling,” said Tom Michel, Hamadi’s lawyer. “My client acknowledged responsibility and that part of the content they aired was not acceptable and could not be consented to or scripted.”<\/p>\n
Cenazandotti received a two-year suspended prison sentence and was ordered to pay a fine of \u20ac15,000.<\/p>\n
Both were banned from posting on social networks for six months.<\/p>\n
The court did not charge them with manslaughter after the prosecution said the probable \u200ccauses of death appeared \u2060to be related to Graven’s poor health and fragile heart.<\/p>\n
It also acquitted them of abusing Pormanove’s psychological frailty, as he had told police prior to his death \u200cthat he had consented to the stunts, Michel said.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said Pormanove had netted about \u20ac265,000 from his streams between 2021 \u200band 2025.<\/p>\n
Kick is under formal investigation in the case, and arrest warrants \u200bhave been requested for some of its officers.<\/p>\n
Kick’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. – Reuters<\/p>\n
