Streamer and content creator Tectone has confirmed that he lost a civil protective order case filed against him by his ex-girlfriend, Pinkchyu, in Travis County, Texas. He publicly acknowledged the outcome on February 1, 2026, stressing that the ruling was part of a civil proceeding and not a criminal conviction. The case followed allegations of sexual assault, abuse, harassment, and threats during their past relationship. A judge ruled in Pinkchyu’s favor after a lengthy hearing held on January 23, 2026, which lasted around seven hours and included multiple forms of evidence.The civil case had a lower standard of proof than criminal trials, which is called “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that the judge had to determine whether the allegations were more probably true than false, as opposed to being proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Pinkchyu offered text messages, audio recordings, and testimony to support her allegations. Tectone has consistently denied the allegations but said the civil process worked differently than he expected. The court’s decision resulted in restrictions but did not lead to jail time or a criminal record.

Court grants protective order against Tectone after civil hearing

As part of the ruling, the judge granted a 10-year protective order against Tectone. The order bars him from contacting Pinkchyu and requires him to stay at least 200 yards away from her home and workplace. It also includes firearm restrictions, an order to delete certain online content, and instructions for Tectone to pay Pinkchyu’s legal fees. Despite the seriousness of the restrictions, the case remains strictly civil in nature.Reacting to the outcome, Tectone spoke openly about why he believes he lost. He said, “A civil case is a vibe check… unfortunately I’m f**ing r***ded and I run my mouth… a civil case isn’t determined by proof… in a civil case I needed proof to prove I was innocent.” His comments highlighted his frustration with the civil court process and his view that his own public statements may have worked against him during the hearing.The ruling does not mean Tectone was found guilty of a crime. No criminal charges were filed, and no arrest or jail sentence followed the decision. Civil protective orders are designed to prevent future contact and provide safety measures, not to punish through incarceration. The judge’s decision reflects the court’s assessment of risk rather than a criminal verdict.Ultimately, the case highlights the distinction between civil and criminal courts, particularly for public figures. Although Tectone continues to deny the allegations, the protective order will now restrict his behavior for the next decade. This case continues to be an important development in the public debate about accountability, internet behavior, and the handling of allegations of abuse in civil courts.
