Mod Ian, the main sound guy at Jagex and longest serving employee, was jailed for more than a year after sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 13. More details in the linked article.
This raises a few questions for me personally, like does Jagex have any safeguards in place to prevent their employees from doing anything like this? It's known Jagex moderators are prominent and often looked up to by players, some of which might be fairly young.
A question for Jagex: Is there anything the company is doing to protect these vulnerable individuals?
As a player, do you think Jagex is doing enough to protect young people playing their games?
Note: I'm not trying to blame Jagex for this, obviously I don't think they're the ones responsible. I do however wonder if there are things they are currently doing or going to do to prevent situations like these in the future.
EDIT: For clarification - I don't think Jagex is responsible in this case, I'm merely asking if there are things in place to prevent these kind of situations during company time, like monitoring employee communications, how 'red flags' are handled and so on.
