In '1st case of its kind', UK probes virtual gang rape of girl's avatar

IndiaTimes Saturday, 6 January 2024
British police are investigating the alleged gang rape of a girl's avatar in an immersive game. The victim, a girl under 16, was wearing a VR headset when her animated representation was raped by several men. The incident, although virtual, may have caused trauma similar to a real-life rape. The authorities are concerned about the prosecution of the accused under existing laws. The case raises questions about allocating resources to investigate virtual reality crimes while dealing with a backlog of in-person rape cases.
