Arrest for virtual murder

According to the publisher The Inquirer , the Japanese police arrested a woman who calmly killed her virtual husband in a role-playing game.

The reason is trivial - “treason”. The 43-year-old Japanese woman got so angry because of her sudden divorce in the game that she virtually killed her former “husband”, or more simply, deleted his account from the resource. By the way, in real life, a woman is married.

The police of the city of Sapporo accuses a woman of using the ID and password of her virtual husband in the online game Maple Story to remove all information about his account.

The woman, in her own defense, said that she had a real marriage, even if it was virtual, and a sudden divorce without any warning or excuse from the “husband” simply infuriated her. However, she faces imprisonment for up to 5 years or a $ 5,000 fine.

Morality - cruelty is punished even in the virtual world.
