The Demerits and Improvement of the Criminal Regulations on Online Indecency with Minors
Online indecency behaviors are hidden and significantly harmful to society,constantly infringing upon minors'physical and mental health.Moreover,their demonstrative effects will lead to imitated behaviors.At present,there is a controversy in the academic community regarding the regulation of online indecency behaviors,in terms of infringement of legal interests,reasons for the crime,and whether it needs to be specified as a specific charge.It is argued that online indecency behaviors have become separate crimes.The subjects can be investigated by requesting real-name authentication,and the behaviors shall be classified and punished with exact charges to stop the infringement.In light of the current Criminal Law's inability to fully regulate metaverse sexual assaults,it is suggested to add a cyber sexual assault crime to the Criminal Law,with an aim to regulating online indecency and othercrimes using the Internet and modern technologies.
