"Police investigate virtual rape of girl in metaverse
The girl is said to have been left distraught after her avatar - or digital character - was attacked online by several adult men in a virtual 'room'"
One thing is for sure, this is not a rape under the Sexual Offences Act of 2003. Indeed, I think the police and CPS will struggle to find a crime that they can prosecute under. Existing laws regarding harassment and abuse online, such as S127 of the Communications Act, which is about messaging, clearly do not cover the virtual commission of an actual criminal act, which causes upset or trauma.
