Virtual Rape Is Traumatic, but Is It a Crime?

Wired reports that last month, two Belgian publications reported that the Brussels police have begun an investigation into a citizen's allegations of rape -- in Second Life.

This may seem silly at first but there is no question that forced online sexual activity -- whether through text, animation, malicious scripts or other means -- is real; and is a traumatic experience that can have a profound and unpleasant aftermath, shaking your faith in yourself, in the community, in the platform, even in sex itself.

More indepth look after the jump.

of course it is bad for players in online worlds to experience uninvited, offensive and sexually crude text/messages/ pictures. It probably is an offence of sorts.

But it is not rape. To say so is an insult to real victims of rape.

This sort of harassment may not be rape but it's generally more invasive than more sexual harassment. When your your able to say (and do with a character) whatever you want without seeing how it's affecting the other person people are capable of a lot more.

As they should be. There's no need for these kinds of games. It's just prurient nonsense.
