Jay “Sinatraa” Won has been suspended from professional Valorant play for six months. This is due to his attitude and non-compliance with a Riot investigation into allegations levied against him by his ex-girlfriend of sexual assault. While the investigation was incomplete, at this point, local law enforcement is involved, and Riot has deferred their investigation to them.

In Riot’s ruling, Sinatraa is said to have not released the full audio and video from the incident referenced by his ex-girlfriend and has also “misrepresented” some situations as fact when they were not on a few occasions, giving the disciplinary team working on Valorant some “serious concerns.”

“While the investigation did not come to a definitive conclusion on the underlying allegations, the Competitive Operations team had serious concerns with Sinatraa’s conduct during the course of the investigation,” Riot said in their release. “It was determined that on at least two occasions, Sinatraa misrepresented certain facts, made false statements, and did not cooperate with the investigation in a way expected of a professional VALORANT esports player. Of note, Sinatraa’s public commitment on social media to provide the full audio and video clip referenced in the original post was never fulfilled. Cooperation in these investigations is of the utmost importance, especially when the nature of the allegations is as serious as sexual assault. This behavior will not be tolerated by VALORANT Esports.”

As a result, Riot says that he will be cleared to play in September, though it’s unclear if Sentinels will be bringing him back as an active player or if he will be released to another team at that time. This means he will be out through the end of the Stage 3 Challenger season and the final Master’s event. He will, however, be available for the Last Chance Qualifiers and Champions in December, Riot’s worlds event for Valorant. He will have to clear professional conduct training prior to returning to play on September 10 – but since he’s got the next four months off, he should be able to get this handled.

“I’ve spent the last 2 months reflecting on how I can be better as a person,” Sinatraa said in a Twitlonger statement after the news broke early this afternoon. “I’ve been a pro player for basically all of my adult life and still have a lot to improve on. I’ve been reflecting a ton during the downtime and know how much I hurt Cleo emotionally and I’m truly sorry about it. I will learn from my mistakes and keep on trying to improve myself as a person. I now have an additional 4 months away from competitive play to spend time trying to develop a better set of interpersonal skills and to earn back the trust of this community. Again, I am truly sorry to everyone I let down or hurt.”
