The British police have begun an investigation into the first registered case of virtual rape in the metaverse, as reported by the Daily Mail. The avatar of a sixteen-year-old girl became the target of sexual assault by a group of adult men in an engaging video game. This incident has sparked intense debates about safety in virtual worlds, where users often interact anonymously.

Experts in cybersecurity and virtual reality emphasize that although no physical harm is inflicted in such cases, the psychological impact on victims can be significant, as the VR headset experience is designed to be as realistic and immersive as possible.

We take this report seriously and are conducting an investigation to understand all the circumstances of the incident. We are also working to provide support to the victim.stated a police representative

Legal experts are also discussing how laws need to adapt to new technologies and their impact on society. "We are facing a situation where our existing legislative and ethical frameworks may not fully correspond to the realities of the virtual world," notes a lawyer specializing in cyber law.

This case has led to discussions about the need to strengthen control and protection in digital worlds, as well as issues related to identification and accountability in virtual reality.

While the investigation continues, the public and experts are closely monitoring the developments, which may have long-term implications for the future of virtual interactions.
