Sucks that such a thing would happen. In this case perhaps we should educate children using VR that if ANYTHING they don't like happens while in VR, they only have to take the headset off. She need not endure anything, just take off headset and disconnect. Empower the kids to know they must take care of their own safety.


A terrible story but not new. Reminds me of a fascinating article from decades ago, "A Rape in Cyberspace."
