Tracking crime in SL by The Brussels Court

A very big part of the Second Life community consists of deviant personalities who dress up as ‘furries’ (mostly human-like cats) and interact with each other through all sorts of bizarre virtual sex toys.

Two Belgian newspapers (De Morgen and Het Laatste Nieuws) reported today that the Brussels Court will work together with the Federal Computer Crime Unit to “patrol in Second Life” because of a virtual rape case with a Belgian Second Life user.

Second Life is constantly evolving more into an extension of reality with its economy and apparantly also with its very sexual culture and it seems that we’ll continue to see more legal implications as a result of this in the future.
