The dangers of these, online interactions, and yet, that's the way, we can, of connecting to each other in this, day and age, and this teen is, way too, naïve, way too, unsuspecting, without any, sense, the question here, IF my character got raped by another player's character, then, if I file for a rape charge, would it get, prosecuted, and, what sort of an evidence would I need to keep (not taking my baths if it'd happened physically, going to the hospital to get my rape kit done in the shortest time possible, yada, yada, yada), off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
How Does Meta Manage That?
The British Daily Post reported exclusively, that the police is currently investigating an odd case of virtual rape involving Meta. A teenage girl of sixteen years of age, was playing a VR game, when she was assaulted by multiple adult male gamers, this became the very first officially under investigation case involving rape and Meta.
the report from YouTube
Based off of the reports, the victim adolescent female was getting into the characters she was using in the games, and was gang raped by the adult male games she didn't even know. Because the crimes happened on a virtual platform, her body wasn't actually, assaulted, there wasn't any physical injuries, which caused the media, the society to question the fitting means of British laws being enforced on the internet.
The Secretary of State of Home Department, Cleverly, stated, that he knew a lot would feel, that this isn't real, why such a big deal, but the feelings of VR experiences is very close to the real experiences, "we're discussing a traumatized adolescent kid.", and in the virtual world, the players who'd caused such traumas to another, may do the same physically, offline.
But, due to the current British legislature, sexual assault is defined by unconsented sex, the police told, that even IF they were able to trace the IP to find out the identity of the person using the character to rape the other character, it's not prosecutable, because NO physical sexual assault had, occurred.
The tech company, Meta's spokesperson commented on the case, stated, that Meta will not tolerate such behaviors, "we had automatically opened a safety function, the 'personal boundary', to precent the strangers to NOT contact you within a few inches of where you are."
And so, this is, the DILEMMA of SEXUAL assault online, if your virtual reality character was sexually assaulted, and you are not, because you're behind the screens, using your characters to play those games, then, would the SEXUAL assault charges pursued by you be valid? I mean, this is walking on that gray boundary, I mean, it is real, because, that was the character you were, using that got, assaulted, but, it wasn't real, because you are still, untouched sitting, where you are, when you'd, played that game, so, how do we decide, if this case will, go to trial or not???
And more importantly how do we know, how to, keep ourselves SAFE and sound, in these, modern day means of, interactions, when everything IS, exchanged, online. And, if this case didn't stand in court, then, would it, pave the ways for, more virtual rapes, because, as a perp, I can claim, that I did NOT physically grab so-and-so on her tits, I hadn't PENETRATED so-and-so physically, 'cuz it's not like we were in bed together, and I got on top of her, physically, and, how would the, jury, decide???
All of that is in the considerations of this, case of "virtual rape" that's happened in the online games here.
