Keffals is a popular Twitch streamer who was swatted and arrested on Aug. 5 in a transphobic hate crime. The streamer is now asking that people help support her in collecting funds to relocate and recoup losses from the traumatic event.
The Twitch streamer Keffals, real name Clara Sorrenti, known for her political commentary and advocacy for the trans community, was swatted and arrested in her home Aug. 5 after malicious actors sent a false email threatening others in her name.
Keffals on Tuesday posted a video describing the incident, and said that she was awakened at gunpoint by London, Ontario police after an internet troll impersonated her and sent threatening messages to every member of the London city council. The false email, which Keffals said police showed her during her interrogation, said Keffals had killed her mother and planned to go to city hall with an illegal firearm to harm others.
Keffals says she still is a suspect in an ongoing investigation by the London police. Per her account, her brother had previously warned authorities she could be a target for such abuse.
