Rapes and murders in the Metaverse could be treated as criminal offences, says National Crime Agency boss

“Paedophiles could get better scripts to groom children. Young girls and boys have been extorted, blackmailed into exposing themselves, doing things to themselves, self-harming themselves, because someone they are in contact with online gets something from them and blackmails them into doing more and more and sometimes at scale. If they have got a better script and ability to do that then that will be more damaging.”
