Via CBC News.

German authorities are probing the online virtual world Second Life after the release of a television news report that alleges some members are involved in a simulated child sex ring that trades real child pornography.

Police are seeking to identify members of the Second Life group who traded and paid for sex with child-styled avatars or digital representations of people, BBC and Deutsche Welle news services said after the allegation was reported Tuesday by the SWR public broadcaster's Report Mainz television news magazine.
