Live streaming crimes are a 21st century phenomenon in which criminals deliberately commit crimes while live streaming the act on social media. Legal systems lack tools to protect the privacy of the victims of these crimes.[1][2][3][4]
History
In April 2016, Marina Lonina (18) and her boyfriend Raymond Gates (29) were arrested in Ohio on charges that Lonina had lured an underage friend to an apartment where Gates raped her while Lonina live-streamed the crime on Periscope.[5][6] According to the prosecutor, who pointed out that Lonina, who was taken advantage of by a much older man, had gotten "caught up" in her excitement over the number of "likes" she was getting and is shown on screen "laughing and giggling."[5] Joss Wright of the Oxford Internet Institute pointed out that given, "The volume of content being created and uploaded every day... "There is almost no practical way to prevent content like this being uploaded and shared."[6]
By May the New York Times was including the Ohio Periscope rape as one of a series of recent cases in which crimes were live streamed, including one in which a young woman in Égly, France speaks into Periscope about her distress and suicidal thoughts and is apparently encouraged by viewers to kill herself, which she does by throwing herself under a train, and the case of 2 thugs who live stream themselves bragging and laughing as they beat up a drunken man in a bar in Bordeaux, France.[7]
In January 2017, in the 2017 Chicago torture incident, a white man with a mental disability in Chicago, Illinois, was filmed being physically and verbally abused by four African American people (two men and two women). The torture was livestreamed by one of the women on Facebook.
On 21 January 2017, in the 2017 Uppsala rape Facebook live streaming incident, in Uppsala, Sweden, Afghan refugees live streamed the gang rape of a Swedish woman on Facebook.
In April 2017, a Clevland man murdered a senior and live-streamed it on facebook.
