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.

      I clearly didn’t mean the commenter calling the horrible comments out, it was a follow up.

      But thanks for confirming that the dumbest assholes and most easily impressionable users of reddit are here.

      People here have the same resistance to disinformation and propaganda as the MAGA crowd. You will follow and believe every bullshit source as long as it fits your narrative. (Not related to this post, it’s a general observation I made)

      You guys are getting radicalised and it’s so unbelievably easy.

        Looks like you’re not used to being around people who disagree with you.

              That counts as agreement to me. I like you now.
