To the HollowWorld Community, and others:

This will be quite an impactful announcement, so please make sure to read it in full. If you feel uncomfortable or know more of the topic, feel free to reach out to Moderation if you feel the need to.

Since its conception, HollowWorld has grown to be a big community more so than it is just a Minecraft Roleplaying server. Even those that no longer participate In-Game still participate and contribute. We are proud to be the community that we are, with a great many participants. As you all know, Staff and Moderation Team do what they can to ensure the rules of The King's Law are followed. This is, of course, done to maintain the harmony of HollowWorld and safeguard it as being a safe place where as many people as possible can go to RP and have fun. Following the addition of a new member of our community last year, old members of our community and members of other MC RP communities relayed hearsay of them being a predator. No one had any concrete evidence, and no one could provide anything more than hearsay. Due to a lack of evidence for a very serious offense, it was decided that we could not act other than to keep a diligent eye out for new information. We remained vigilant even when we found nothing. This was until we were approached by the owner of a past server of theirs, a few days ago. They shared images of several exchanges between Afro and a victim, who was a minor at the time. This series of exchanges detail efforts to resume the relationship when the victim was trying to cut it off. Included in these are references to sexual images and video created of the victim, where they are mentioned to coerce or otherwise intimidate. Guilt tactics were also used, and the pestering occurred through several mediums. This happened as recently as three years ago.

With this evidence, we swiftly contacted the alleged perpetrator for their explanation. They admitted that it had, indeed, occurred, and that they had lied about this event recently to the staff at the aforementioned past community.

On previous servers, he had gone by the names Forever Gone and IkeGermony. Members of our community, however, would know him as ZeAfroGentleman. Upon being confronted with the allegations and the evidence we collected, he opted to leave HollowWorld after corroborating the charges. His access to our Minecraft server, Discord server and Forums has been barred. A permanent ban, without appeal.

We are keeping the identity of the victim confidential, but we will confirm that they are not a member of this community.

We do not believe that anything has occurred within the bounds of HollowWorld, but we are concerned for our players all the same. Should anyone have seen or heard anything that indicates the contrary, please inform Moderation. If there are any that have been affected by this case or similar cases in the past and need support, please feel free to reach out to a member of Moderation. We will treat those talks as totally confidential. We will be there for any that need or desire it.

Thank you for your attention,

The Staff Team
