There is no such crime.

Yet again Richard is on his own with this one. I'll never understand why he doesn't come to his senses and see that we're all from different walks of life here on this forum, yet no one here agrees with any of the crap he posts and agrees with. All I can say is get a bloody grip on 'reality' Richard.

May I remind everyone that this is a little girl that we are talking about.

Paedophiles are increasingly using VR as a way to gain access to children to groom then and/or act out their sick fantasies.

Is anyone suggesting that this is acceptable because sexual offence legislation hasn't yet been updated to take account of new technology?

So clearly well supervised by their parents, not to mention they should not even have been playing it.

A) no we don’t know it’s a "little girl", as no links have been provided.

B) If it was a "little girl" (define, please), what was a young child doing online in a VR environment without adult supervision?

Update - just seen pip’s post - it was an adult researcher….

Richard you are stating that this is the first case of virtual rape. Please explaine how it is rape see Legal definition below

Spoiler:

I feel for the young Girl and what she has gone through however it is stretching it to claim it is rape based on the above.

By the definition you are making then i need to go hand my self in to the police for the killing of 75 passengers in a cruse ship in Elite Dangerous last night, are those players now going to come after me in the courts.

I’ve just been teabagged by someone in CoD, what offence* is that ?

(*Apart from being guilty of being rubbish at CoD….)

.The "young girl" in question is an avatar that was used by the SumOfUs internet researcher.

I look forward to Richard highlighting (with link) any other case of online virtual reality rape. It is just so rediculous. Just as Richard's posts normally are.#

So this was not a real girl and was instead a test and could have been a man for all anyone knew. I understand in this case it was a female reseacher ?

According to the Indepenent report it was a female researcher.

This information about the online rape has subsequently come out since the BBC initially reported it, thank God it wasn't a real little girl as was first reported.

Hopefully this will prompt a change in the law as nobody should be exposed to this whatever their age.

The forthcoming age verification system will help to keep children out of adult environments and adults out of environments intended for children.

**Paul** · 03-01-2024, 03:56

You are unbelievable.

"thank god" you are not in charge of making any laws, it would be a disaster.

"Keep adults out of environments intended for children".
Are you serious, who do you think is going to supervise them ?
Or should children just run riot in their "environments" now.

From what I've seen in VR it's always kids that do this kind of thing. There is tech now that records your voice to determine your age, and if you're underaged for that game then you get banned. And from what seen since from using that tech that kind of behaviour now doesn't exist. That and the use of a privacy bubble on top.
