Police have seized a robot in Germany after it allegedly touched a 16-year-old girl's buttocks and 'made thrusting motions against her'.

The 'assault' was reportedly livestreamed outside a fast food restaurant in Cologne on Sunday.

The 1.2m tall red and gold automaton is believed to have approached the teenager from behind when she was standing with a group of friends.

The incident was then reported to police who found the robot hidden in the boot of a VW car.

Officers have now launched a criminal investigation as it is believed the automaton was being 'remote-controlled'.

I wonder how the UK is going to lock up Chat GPT if it engages in "hate speech".

This has got to be a Babylon Bee article.

Once it’s learned that the robot was controlled by a protected class, all this will go away and the girl will be told to just be more tolerant.

So the type of car is identified but the owner of the car is not.

An “adult” store’s PR stunt? Add an attachment to the robot and lonely women will break the doors down to buy one. After all, men have those life-size dolls to keep them company.

Who programmed the robot?

They really are not autonomous individuals like in all those movies.

Yeah, and don’t be a racist since the head color is like one of them.

They should have made it a Muslim robot with a turban, then all would be well.

Oh sure, they’ll take a robot off the street for groping, but not an actual rapist. Biden groped plenty of girls on live TV and video, and he’s still hobbling around.

It is not an automaton if it is being controlled.

What is the “protected class” & why should they be from something like this? If the whole truth were known, it could probably be said that they should have had the book thrown at them.

I've thought about investing in a robotics company. China having a shortage of marriage aged women makes for about one million lonely men.

Anyone not white is a protected class in the UK.

- On Sunday night, a 16-year-old boy allegedly used a remote-controlled robot to sexually harass a 16-year-old girl at a fast-food restaurant on Palmstrasse in Cologne, Germany.

- Resembling the Marvel hero Iron Man, the red and gold 3-foot-11 device allegedly “touched the girl’s buttocks” and “made thrusting motions against her” while wearing a fake moustache.

- Two teenagers from Wegberg, aged 16 and 19, live-streamed the incident until midnight, then police arrested the pair at the corner of Magnusstrasse and Hohenzollernring.
