"In February 2022, London-based Nina Jane Patel spoke about how a gang of three to four avatars sexually harassed her within 60 seconds of joining Meta’s metaverse platform Horizon Venues. “They essentially, but virtually, gang-raped my avatar and took photos as I tried to get away,” Patel, co-founder and vice-president of metaverse research Kabuni Ventures, wrote in a post on Medium.com.

“My physiological and psychological response was as though it happened in reality,” she recalled.

Patel told CNBC-TV18 in an interview that she froze during the attack. She fumbled with the controllers while trying to use the safety features, which allow users to block and report. “But as I was asking them to ‘stop’, ‘go away’, I realised I needed to end this as their verbal harassment and sexual innuendos were getting increasingly aggressive,” she told the publication.

She pulled off the virtual reality headset but said she could still hear her attackers laughing and voices coming through saying, “Don’t pretend you don’t like it.”
