Loki e-mailed me this, and indeed, it’s hilariously funny:
Investigators of the Belgian first life Federal Computer Crime Unit are investigating the rape of a SecondLife resident: RL cops patrolling the grid!
Belgian Federal Computer Crime Unit has started an investigation after a rape that happened in SecondLife. A complaint at the Police departement of Brussels (our capital, for god’s sake!) of an avatar being raped led to the opening of a case file and now the Federal Police says it’s their intention ‘to look into if any punishable facts occured.
Sources: De Standaard (ty Loki for this great break! *still laughing*) and HLN (via secondlifecrew.be) Would someone tell those cops Median is probably not a safe place to stroll around in police outfit and that they’d better wear their visitor tags? :p Ow! I so hope they bumb into Tiessa or Zoe. *grins*

i cant read the article because its in a language i dont understand XD but just reading what you wrote, i 1) am not suprised someone would go to the police to place a rape clain 2) wonder why the person didnt log off if she didnt like what was happening
yesh , now i can wear my police uniform that i bought a while ago!^^
Belgian cops…i think they just want some sl playtime instead of rl-work
While rape is a pretty serious charge, and a serious event, I find this a ludicrous event for Second Life. It’s basically impossible to force an avatar to do anything against the operators true will. It’s also impossible to be truly harmed. I suspect this was a n00b that did not know better, which was probably more traumatic.
It’s right up there with the other n00b I saw who was trying to “break in” and steal things out of other people’s houses. He was rather frustrated at his inability to take anything….
Oh brother…
I posted a message on SLProfile.com. Read the reactions ;-)

By happenstance I was in Midian last night - although definitely not in a police uniform ;)
Remember, I like guys in uniforms :)
Tiessa, do give ‘our boys’ a warm welcome, will you? ;)
Wait, they were in Midian City??
People get raped there every night…it’s part of the roleplay! People need to read the notecard when they enter midian instead of just discarding it =P
If I see the cops there, maybe I’ll have some fun with them =)
No sorry. I don’t know in which SIM it happened, the article doesn’t mention that. I just assumed if it’s about rape, and inquiery should start in Median. :d Do say ‘hi from that girl that has put way to much tabasco in you’re collegues food’. (Ever tried to spell out ACAB out in tabasco on a sandwich? ;)))
Care to comment?
