Once again, I would like to ask everyone to please not attack anyone involved. This post is largely just to keep our communities safe, and not to start any drama over it.
If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

This entire post is meant to provide as much transparency as we can give without disrespecting the Victimβs wishes. Thorn has downplayed the situation to a gross extent, and the red flags have just continued to come up over the passing days.

Mutual telling Thorn to move his announcement out of spam, and into the announcement channel.
The announcement (part 1)
The announcement (part 2)
He has made a post on a Discord server that we all share, but we had to tell him not to put it in the βspamβ channel after seeing him do so.

Post about leaving bluesky.
Though he made an effort to make a post about leaving Bluesky for a while, he wasnβt being entirely truthful about the situation. Too little was said, and it lacks the transparency that's typically expected in situations like this.
12/15
So far, he has shown no intention of following through with what we've said, and we have reason to believe that he fully intends to return sooner rather than later.
11/15
We told him that heβd have to get help and tell people about what heβd done since many people are uncomfortable being around people like that.
10/15
We couldnβt be friends with him after what weβd heard; the trust of so many people just went down the drain. However, we do intend to hold him accountable for his actions.

It was on 4/9/2025 that the mutual and I ended up confronting Thorn on discord, where we heard directly from him that the allegations against him were all true.

Thorn making a mutual and I aware of his account switch.
Though we were made aware of the account switch, weβd only heard that it was due to βdramaβ at the time. It took the victimβs friend for us to find out the truth.

Thorn's blacked-out account.
A day after addressing the allegations, he ended up blacking out his original discord, intending to delete it and move to a new one where heβd be more private.

Thorn's initial response (Part 1)
Thorn's initial response (Part 2)
A screenshot was also shared to us by the Victimβs friend that showed how Thorn handled the situation, which will also be shared in this post. From what we could tell from his explanation, this situation seems to go back to December.

Screenshots of what the Victim had to say. Sam is another name Thorn goes by.

How Thorn has been acting around the Victim, and minors around them. (Part 1)

Below will likely be the screenshots that were shared to us, showing the allegations as they stand currently to be about grooming someone who had only just turned 18, and wasnβt mentally well at the time.

The message sent by the victim's friend.
To explain things from the perspective of a mutualβs and my own, weβve known Thorn for 5+ years by this point. Weβve seen him at his best and, evidently, his worst. This all started for us on 4/7/2025 when the mutual got a message from a friend of the Victim, who will both remain anonymous.
3/15
The situation has mostly been handled, so please don't attack anyone mentioned below. This post is mainly just for awareness, but we would suggest not associating with Thorn after this.
2/15
Never thought Iβd make a post like this, but here we are.
Most of this will be a callout on x.thornblood.x, who will be called βThornβ for simplicityβs sake.

Switch 2 just got a trailer, and I'm beyond excited for it! I can't wait to see the Nintendo Direct whenever that happens.
