SPP: It’s sex abuse even with no touch
    2018-11-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A PERSON who demands nude photos or pressures minors to have sex over the internet can be charged with child molestation, even if there is no physical contact, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) said Sunday.

The SPP has published three cases showing the violation of juvenile rights, including child molestation, rape and abuse.

Such cases are supposed to act as guides for procuratorial organs to better handle similar cases.

In one case, a suspect surnamed Luo threatened a 13-year-old girl in an online chat and forced the girl to send him naked pictures via the Internet. Luo was sentenced to two years imprisonment.

“As the case illustrates, child molesters using cyber tools, in which no direct physical contact is involved, can be charged with child molestation,” the SPP said.

In another case, a school teacher surnamed Qi was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping and molesting several children.

In one case involving child abuse, a woman surnamed Yu was prosecuted for beating her stepdaughter.

“When victims are incapable of filing lawsuits in such cases, procuratorial organs should initiate public prosecutions in time,” the SPP said.

Certain information concerning the victims’ identities was omitted in the disclosure to protect their privacy, according to the SPP.

The SPP recently sent a proposal to the Ministry of Education about improving mechanisms for preventing sexual assaults against schoolchildren in primary and secondary schools, and in kindergartens.

The ministry said in a guideline issued Friday that any teacher caught abusing, molesting or sexually harassing students will be banned from teaching at any school and their teaching credentials, academic titles and honors will be revoked.
