    investigation into sexual assault and harassment

    Assault and not just harassment.

    This makes more sense. The headline just says harassment which is generally a civil suit where you get sued but not arrested. Assault is criminal that you will be arrested over.

      Blizzard is based in the US. American executives rarely ever see punishment.

        I don’t know if I have ever heard of an American exec being properly punished by the law.

            It’s not the building that the problem, it’s the transporting the guillotine, the public event permits, hiring security, finding a suitable venue, organising biohazard cleanup, not to mention ticket master fees.

            And that’s all before you need to actually pry your chosen billionaire out of their secure vehicles or offices or residences and invite them to participate.

      Impossible. Can’t go after an entire firm. (I joke; but Blizzard is so fucking rotten to the core, even if I’d rather they not have been bought out by Microsoft)

    I first read this as an executive was arrested–not that five were arrested. Jfk Ubisoft.
