Police are investigating the first case of rape in the metaverse after a child was 'attacked' in a virtual reality video game.
The girl under the age of 16 is said to have been left distraught after her avatar – her digital character – was gang raped by the online strangers.
The headset-wearing victim did not suffer any injuries as there was no physical attack.
But officers said she suffered the same psychological and emotional trauma as someone who has been raped in the real world as the 'VR' experience is designed to be completely immersive.
A spokesman for Meta said: 'The kind of behaviour described has no place on our platform, which is why for all users we have an automatic protection called personal boundary, which keeps people you don't know a few feet away from you.'
