German Police Investigate Robot Used in Sexual Assault on Teen in Cologne
Cologne police have opened a sexual harassment investigation after a robot allegedly touched a 16-year-old girl's buttocks and made thrusting motions while two young men filmed and streamed the incident on a public street. Authorities seized the robot, roughly 120 centimeters tall and dressed in clothing with a gold chain and fake mustache, along with the suspects' phones, and are investigating whether its actions were preprogrammed or remotely controlled in real time.
