Police are investigating a virtual sexual assault of a girl’s avatar, the chair of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners has said.

Donna Jones said she had learned that a complaint was made in 2023, triggering a police inquiry.

The virtual incident did not result in physical harm but caused “psychological trauma”, the Daily Mail has reported a source as saying. Police chiefs have called on platforms to do more to protect their users.

The impact of the attack on the girl’s avatar was said to be heightened because of the immersive nature of the VR experience.

    Can you point to a comment that is highly upvoted and is a rape apologist?

      No. The simple fact that you’re asking this question is proof that you’re acting in bad faith.

      I’m done with this thread.

        Can you provide evidence for your extraordinary claim?

        No I can provide no evidence for my claim therefore I’m right.

        You get why this makes no sense right?

        It’s your problem if you want to go off in a big huff because the rest of the universe doesn’t conform to your imaginations. Next time try to get pissy about something that’s actually happening.
