Capcom bans pro fighting game player due to sexual harassment

[Administrator]

Competitive Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom player Noel Brown has been banned from a series of high-profile fighting game tournaments following an instance of "unwarranted and unwanted contact" with a fellow attendee.
The incident, which took place at the recent Combo Breaker fighting game tournament, was captured on video as Brown groped a woman while filtering out of an auditorium.
Today Capcom issued a statement on the matter, explaining that it's looked into the issue and found Brown's behaviour inappropriate. He will be banned from the rest of the Capcom Pro Tour. Should another similar incident occur with Brown, he will be banned for life.
