Runescape author Ian Taylor detained

Ian Taylor, an author who dealt with MMOROG Runescape was condemned to 22 months in jail for rape of a minor. Taylor, who was vigorously engaged with the soundtrack for the allowed to-play game and had chipped away at OSRS gold since 1999, conceded unsteadily attacking a young lady younger than 13 in December of 2020.

As indicated by a report in the Cambridge Independent, the episode happened last December, with Taylor asserting tipsiness and sorrow as moderation for his activities. Aside from his 22-months-in length jail sentence, Taylor will be put on the sex guilty parties register for a very long time and gave a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

The wrongdoing at first went unnoticed until the young lady trusted in a relative, as indicated by the Cambridge Independent, with Det Sgt Greg Stanley applauding the casualty for their boldness: "I laud the fortitude of this little youngster in approaching and standing up" he said. "Without her fortitude, Taylor might have continued culpable."

Runescape distributer makes a move

As indicated by an assertion given to Kotaku, Taylor was excused by Jagex, distributers of Runescape, when the charges initially surfaced against him. "Jagex expects the best expectations from its staff and we act definitively if those qualities that we hold dear are not reflected in the conduct of workers," Jagex told Kotaku, prior to affirming Taylor was excused when the conditions of the charges became known in March 2021.

Jagex additionally claims to have directed an inside examination on finding the charges and discovered no proof to provoke further examination of Taylor's time at the organization. Taylor had been with the organization since the mid 2000s and had driven the sound group from 2003, having made 635 pieces for the game in his time at the organization.

There is no sign at this point if Jagex expects to keep on utilizing his work, with other gaming firms feeling obligated to eliminate resources related with guilty parties lately. Before his expulsion, Taylor was the longest-serving individual from staff at Jagex and was the main individual to join the three Gower siblings at the firm back in 1999.
