“Nothing illegal happened, no photos were shared, no crimes were committed, I never met the individual,” Beahm tweeted.
“I went through lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with Twitch and that case was resolved by settlement. Let me be clear, this was not a criminal case against me and no criminal charges were filed against me.”
Beahm continued, saying he should never have spoken to the minor.
“That’s up to me as an adult, a husband and a father. This should never have happened.”

“But I’m not going anywhere. I’m not the same guy who made that mistake years ago.
“I’m taking a long vacation with my family as mentioned in the broadcast and I’m coming back with a big weight on my shoulders.”
