Woman Arrested for Wiping Ex-Boyfriend's MMORPG Character

According to Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shunbun, a woman in Toyama prefecture, Japan, was arrested for wiping her former boyfriend's MMORPG character.
The ex-girlfriend purportedly logged into his Lineage account and deleted all of his game data, including weapons, items and clothes he amassed. The boyfriend reported misuse of his account to police, and the police then reported the woman to the Fukushima District Public Prosecutor's Office, accusing her of illegally accessing a person's online account.

The woman admitted that vengeance was the motive, saying to police that she "did it as revenge for breaking up."

An example of online relationships going awry, the couple met through playing the game. However, the relationship didn't last--perhaps because she didn't turn out to be the striking well-adorned character that was portrayed on the monitor.
