Sickening Japanese video game "RapeLay" causes outrage

The "mission" of the player is to take revenge on female characters, CNN reported.

One of the scenes in the game titled "RapeLay" shows a teenage girl standing on a subway platform. She has accused the player of sexually abusing her on the train. The player approaches the teen and chooses from different methods of assault.

CNN writes, "with the click of your mouse, you can grope her and lift her skirt. Then you can follow her aboard the train, assaulting her sister and her mother.

As you continue to play, "friends" join in and in a series of graphic, interactive scenes, you can corner the women, rape them again and again.

The game allows you to even impregnate a girl and urge her to have an abortion."

RapeLay has caused international outrage from women's rights groups.

"This was a game that had absolutely no place on the market," said Taina Bien-Aime of women's rights organization Equality Now which has campaigned for the game to be removed from the shelves.

"It's obviously very difficult to curtail activity on the Internet. But the governments do have a role in trying to regulate this sort of extreme pornography of children, both in their countries, and through the Internet ," she said.

The organization has urged the Japanese government "to ban all games that promote and simulate sexual violence, sexual torture, stalking and rape against women and girls. And there are plenty of games like that. "
