Bev Turner has labelled the police investigation of the first case of rape in the Metaverse as "madness."
The girl, who is aged under 16, was using a headset to access a VR room when adult men attacked her avatar and gang raped it.
She was not physically hurt as the assault happened in the online universe but is said to be "emotionally traumatized."
Speaking about the investigation on GB News host Bev said: "At the moment lawyers are saying that there would be no case for a conviction, you can't even call it rape as there is no penetration.

"So if you don't know what we are talking about, you wear a headset and it looks very realistic. Some people have gloves that mean you feel sensation and you can touch people in the Metaverse and you would maybe feel a vibration in your hands.
"However, the idea that any of that can be compared to rape in real life is just madness. We need to call it out for what it is."
She then went on to explain that her twelve year old daughter said that she should just "take off the headset."
Bev added: "Sometimes it just take a child to make you realise where the common sense is."

Discussing the investigation earlier today, Home Secretary James Cleverly said: "I know it is easy to dismiss this as being not real, but the whole point of these virtual environments is they are incredibly immersive.
"And we're talking about a child here, and a child has gone through sexual trauma.
"It will have had a very significant psychological effect and we should be very, very careful about being dismissive of this.
"It's also worth realising that somebody who is willing to put a child through a trauma like that digitally may well be someone that could go on to do terrible things in the physical realm.

"I do think it's right we look seriously at this. We've got to understand that in the world of immersive digital media, I think we have a duty to take issues like this seriously.
"It might seem strange to some, but I do think this is something well worth looking into."
A statement from Metaverse read: "The kind of behaviour described has no place on our platform.
Which is why for all users we have an automatic protection called personal boundary, which keeps people you don't know a few feet away from you."
Co-host Andrew Pierce added: "Can you believe this!?"
