Is getting digitally “gang-raped” in cyberspace a potentially traumatic experience for an internet user? Almost surely.
Is it tantamount to actual rape? Let’s not get carried away.
Yet, getting carried away is the specialty of the Social Justice™ left.

Via LBC (emphasis added):
The girl, who is aged under 16, was using a headset to access a VR room when adult men attacked her avatar.
She was not injured given the assault happened within an immersive reality game, but she is said to be psychologically and emotionally traumatized.
Details about the case have reportedly been kept under wraps to protect the child amid concern a prosecution for the online assault is not viable.
It has led to questions over whether police time is being wasted investigating such problems when it has a backlog of real rape cases to deal with.
But home secretary James Cleverly told LBC’s Nick Ferrari at Breakfast: “I know it is easy to dismiss this as being not real, but the whole point of these virtual environments is they are incredibly immersive.
This is what is going to happen as we are slowly transitioned into life in the metaverse; anything considered a crime in the real world will be reimagined as a crime in the digital facsimile of reality, except that the evidence required will be much more open to manipulation.
Consider this dystopian presentation via the World Economic Forum — a glimpse, just a small taste, of the kind of digital gulag the technocrats have planned for the peasants, which includes continuous monitoring of brain waves for wrongthink and Minority Report-style interrogations into brain-wave data to look for alleged criminality.
“What do you think? Is it a future you’re ready for?” the chirpy WEF spokeslady chimes in, as if the merits of enslaving humanity to a digital social control grid is a topic for debate.

Ian Critchley, the lead for child protection and abuse investigation at the National Police Chiefs' Council, warned: "The metaverse creates a gateway for predators to commit horrific crimes against children."…
One senior police officer told the Mail that sexual offending in the metaverse is now "rife", while Donna Jones, the chairman of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners called for updated laws to protect people online.
Sexual degeneracy and the internet go together like peanut butter and jelly. Dropping a child into the ether and assuming that child is not going to be exposed to it is a fool’s errand.
I once had a similar experience but on a much lower-resolution level —coming of age, as I did, in the era of the infancy of the internet. I managed to find a way into an AOL chatroom at the age of 10. Someone messaged me. I replied. They then informed me that they had “popped my cherry” followed by graphic descriptions I will spare the reader. I had no idea what I was reading. It wasn’t until many years later that I put the pieces together.
It’s probably for the best to just keep kids away from the web as much as possible until they’re mature enough to handle it — obviously easier said than done.
