Cologne Police Seize Humanoid Robot After Livestreamed Sexual Harassment of Teen
German authorities in Cologne have seized a commercially available humanoid robot and two smartphones after the device allegedly groped a 16-year-old girl and performed sexually suggestive movements. The incident, which occurred on October 10 near a fast-food outlet, was recorded and livestreamed by the robot's 16-year-old owner and his 19-year-old companion. Police are investigating whether the movements were remotely controlled or pre-programmed, though legal experts note that current German sexual harassment laws may not apply to machine-to-human contact.
