| A 43-year-old Japanese piano teacher found herself in jail after viciously murdering her ex-husband...in MapleStory. According to reports, the woman's virtual, big-headed anime husband suddenly divorced her in mid-May, which lead to her logging on with the 33-year-old man's username and password and deleting his character. When the man discovered the death of his character, he called the police. The alleged virtual murderer has now been jailed for suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, which could carry a five-year prison sentence or a fine of up to $5,000. - Quote :
- "I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.

| Well actually after reading a few somewhat different "perspectives" of the story. I sort of understood the situation a bit better. In the end it actually come down to well the woman hacking (or "using" if they share the account) the men's account and deleting his data (his character in this case).
However as mentioned ... I wonder how high of lvl the guy's char is, I mean if he's that attached to the char that he even bothered reporting the incident to the police and stuff. And I seriously wonder what kind of reaction do the police have when the guy reported the incident.
But yea I guess in the end the punishment does seem a bit "severe", even though it could be said that this is a case of "property theft and destruction". | |
