Online divorcee jailed after killing virtual hubby
By MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press Writer Mari Yamaguchi, Associated Press Writer
TOKYO – A 43-year-old Japanese piano teacher's sudden divorce from her online husband in a virtual game world made her so angry that she logged on and killed his digital persona, police said Thursday.
The woman, who has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, used his identification and password to log onto popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May, a police official in northern Sapporo City said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
"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.
The woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.
She has not yet been formally charged, but if convicted could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.
As in "Second Life" in the U.S., players in "Maple Story" raise and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting against monsters and other obstacles.
The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, and killed the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead.
The woman was arrested Wednesday and was taken across the country, traveling 620 miles from her home in southern Miyazaki to be detained in Sappporo, where the man lives, the official said.
The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.
In recent years, virtual lives have had consequences in the real world. In August, a woman was charged in Delaware with plotting the real-life abduction of a boyfriend she met through "Second Life."
In Tokyo, police arrested a 16-year-old boy on charges of swindling virtual currency worth $360,000 in an interactive role playing game by manipulating another player's portfolio using a stolen ID and password.
Virtual games are popular in Japan, and "Second Life" has drawn a fair number of Japanese participants. They rank third by nationality among users, after Americans and Brazilians.

This story corrects that the woman has been arrested on suspicion of illegal access of computer, manipulating data, instead of being charged with offenses.

I suppose that makes it all right, but if she was charged for murder |

If they put her in virtual prison she can escape then the whole internet will be looking for an escaped avatar!
I wonder if there will be a reward? |

Yes, but a virtual one only...
Hmm, if this is true, I suppose I'm a mass murderer... come on, who hasn't created random accounts just to kill them off in amusing ways and/or to kill everyone else in sight? Good fun. |

I'm disgusted with the the entire human species. They would even punish their own for non-real life offenses, using real life punishments. I better not kill my little toy mousey, oooo! or they will lock me in a cage....idiots.

As a player of many online games, I know first hand that people do play very hard to earn some of the achievements and rewards in these games so it should be considered theft IMO, but it's not severe enough to the point to face prison terms. |

Can't they just reload the digital person? Why not just make the character come back to life? |
