Humanoid robot sexually harasses 16-year-old girl on Cologne street; operator livestreamed it and was detained by police

In Cologne, Germany, a 16-year-old boy operated a humanoid robot about 1.2 meters tall to sexually harass a 16-year-old girl on the street while livestreaming the entire incident. Police have seized the robot and both individuals' phones as evidence. The robot, red and gold in color and about four feet tall, was hidden in the trunk of a Volkswagen. Police have opened a case on suspicion of "insult for sexual motives" and are also investigating whether filming and distributing the video without consent violates image rights and privacy laws, saying such a case has no precedent.
