Robot Groping Incident: German Police Investigate
Robot Allegedly Assaults Teen Girl
In a bizarre incident, a robot has been seized by German police after it allegedly groped a teenage girl in Cologne. The 120cm-tall red and gold robot, adorned with a moustache and gold chain, approached the 16-year-old girl from behind and grabbed her buttocks, according to police reports.
The incident occurred on Saturday night, close to midnight, near a fast-food outlet in the city centre.
Live-Streamed Assault
Police believe the robot’s owner, a 16-year-old boy, and his 19-year-old companion were live-streaming the incident on social media. The pair were found a block away shortly after the assault, and the robot was discovered in the back of their car.
The police statement on Facebook revealed that the robot made thrusting motions against the girl, who screamed and moved away.
Social Media Warning
In a follow-up post, police cautioned social media users about the potential legal consequences of their comments, stating that some remarks could be considered criminal offenses.
This unusual case raises questions about the boundaries of technology and personal safety in public spaces.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working to determine if the robot’s movements were deliberately controlled during the incident.
