Sexual harassment of a 16-year-old girl by a robot! | The police seized the device
German police are investigating an unusual case in the city of Cologne, in which a humanoid robot has been accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl.
According to the report of Ambassador Arjan, the police officials suspect two young men, aged 16 and 19, who are said to have recorded the robot's behavior when the incident occurred and broadcast its images live on social networks.
This incident happened near midnight in front of a fast food restaurant in a busy area of Cologne. At that time, the teenage girl was standing outside the restaurant with her two friends, aged 17 and 18, when a robot approached her from behind, touched her back and made sexual gestures.

This robot is about one meter and 20 centimeters tall and was walking on the street with a red and gold cover, sports pants, sunglasses and a gold chain. The pictures published in the virtual space show that two young men were accompanying the robot among a group of women, and during the interaction with the passersby, it was behaving strangely.
After reporting the incident, police officers identified two young suspects near the place. According to Cologne police, the robot was in the trunk of a Volkswagen car. The officers seized the devices and mobile phones of the two suspects as evidence in the case.
The most important question of the investigators is whether the movements of the robot were pre-planned or the two young men controlled it remotely at the moment of the accident. Also, the review of surveillance camera images and videos published on the Internet continues to reconstruct the incident.
One of the people related to this incident has claimed on the Tik Tok social network that the collision of the robot with the teenage girl was accidental and that the device hit her while trying to bypass a passerby. However, longer images posted online appear to show other sexually-themed movements after the encounter; An issue that has necessitated a more detailed examination of the role of the people present in the scene.
A new legal challenge in the age of robots
German police have started their investigation on the suspicion of committing a sexually motivated offense. However, the case has created new legal questions; Because the laws related to sexual harassment in Germany are generally based on direct physical contact between humans, and the use of a robot may complicate the identification of the criminal title and the responsibility of the people involved.
No formal charges have been filed against any of the two suspects yet. The investigation is to determine who was responsible for the robot's movements and whether its behavior was intentionally designed or controlled to harm the teenage girl.
At the same time, this case has created new concerns about the use of humanoid robots in public spaces; Machines that, by expanding the access of ordinary people to them, can become a tool for abusive behavior in addition to their daily uses.
