ZoeMatthea spots alleged stalker during Gamescom livestream

ZoeMatthea was doing an IRL livestream in Cologne when the incident happened. Her stream on August 26 lasted around six hours and showed her journey through the city before she went to Gamescom. During one part of the stream, ZoeMatthea was at a train station when she noticed the person she had previously accused of stalking and harassing her. She appeared to become uncomfortable and started looking around her. A short clip from the stream, which is around one and a half minutes long, shows a man walking near the streamer. After noticing him, ZoeMatthea appears to move away from where she was standing. The clip was recorded under the title “Dokumentation stalking,” which means “documentation of stalking” in English. This shows that ZoeMatthea was directly documenting the incident on her own stream. According to reports from the German Twitch community, ZoeMatthea has said that the person has followed and harassed her for around two years. It has also been claimed that police had previously warned the person.

ZoeMatthea shares reported police response to stalking complaint

The incident has also brought attention to a response ZoeMatthea reportedly received from police after making a complaint. According to reports about the response she shared, police said there was not enough information to clearly establish the crime of stalking. One reason given was that it could not be determined that ZoeMatthea had clearly told the person that she did not want any further contact with him. This detail comes from reports about the police response shared by ZoeMatthea. There does not appear to be a detailed public statement from Cologne police about the incident itself. ZoeMatthea has around 46,000 followers on Twitch and is known for IRL, gaming and chat streams. Her Gamescom stream reached up to about 767 viewers. The new encounter has once again brought ZoeMatthea’s alleged stalking case into the spotlight. Seeing the person during her Gamescom trip made the situation especially uncomfortable because she says the harassment has continued for about two years. The livestream captured the moment as it happened, giving viewers a look at the tense encounter. However, claims about the person and the police response should be understood as allegations and reported statements unless independently confirmed by authorities.
