Recently, the Lishui People's Court in Zhejiang Province concluded a high-profile case. The court sentenced Zhao, a post-00s man, to 4 years and 6 months in prison on the charge of "indecency in the air". This is the first time that China's legal profession has officially characterized "indecency in the air" as a new criminal act.
The cause of this case is: The suspect Zhao used social software to pretend to be Gao Fushuai and deceived several underage girls. He promised the girls financial support, asking them to provide intimate photos and videos in return. Due to their own reasons, several girls were deceived and provided personal information to Zhao.
However, once Zhao obtained the photos and videos of the girls, instead of fulfilling his promises, he began to threaten them with public profiles to force them to provide more financial compensation. In the end, there was another girl who was forced by Zhao to be helpless, so she had to confide in her parents about the unfair treatment she had suffered. Parents immediately call the police.

The police confirmed Zhao's crime through investigation. Faced with traditional charges such as "indecency" and "extortion of property", the court was initially unsure of how to impose the sentence. Because Zhao did not have actual contact with the girl, he completely used the Internet to deceive and blackmail, which is different from the traditional understanding of "obscene" behavior.
In order to define this new type of cybercrime, the court reinterpreted the legal meaning of "indecency" from a broader perspective. As long as any means are used to intentionally infringe on the sexual autonomy and privacy of another person, it can be considered "indecency". Engaging in this kind of behavior through the Internet is called "indecency".
On the basis of full investigation and evidence collection, the court tried and punished Zhao on the grounds of "indecency in the air" and "extortion of property". The imposition of 4 years and 6 months in prison for this new type of cybercrime establishes a clear definition and serves as a warning for the new cybercrime.
After the case came to light, it caused widespread discussion. Some netizens expressed their support for the court to incorporate this new type of cybercrime into the criminal law norms by means of legal reference cases, so as to better protect the interests of the public. It has also been suggested that heavier penalties should be imposed on perpetrators, given the influence of "indecency in the air" on the Internet.
At the same time, there are also views that this case also reveals the hidden dangers of cyber security, and calls on parents and schools to strengthen online education and protection for minors. With the changes of the times, cybercrime is also developing with each passing day, and only through laws and systems can we better punish lawbreakers and maintain social fairness and justice.
This case not only established a clear definition of the new type of online sexual assault, but also made more people, especially teenagers, aware of the importance of cyber security so as not to become victims of online harassment by others. It is only through a combination of law and education that we can build a more secure and unified cyberspace.
With the popularity of social media and the internet, the forms of cybercrime are constantly evolving and increasing. In this digital age, people's personal information and privacy are more likely to be violated. The trial and verdict of this "indecent assault" case provides us with an important legal precedent to deal with this new type of cybercrime.
By defining the crime of "indecency in the air", the court has made clear provisions on the infringement of the sexual autonomy and privacy of others. Whether through physical contact or through online means, as long as you intentionally infringe on others, you should be punished by law. This is of great significance for protecting individual rights and interests and safeguarding social fairness and justice.
It is not enough to rely on the sanction of the law alone. It is necessary for society to strengthen online education and protection measures for minors. Parents and schools should work together to teach children about the proper use of the internet and raise their awareness of online risks and cybersecurity.
In addition, the government and relevant institutions should also step up efforts to strengthen the supervision and prevention of cyber security to ensure a safer and healthier cyber environment in society.
At the same time, the public should also be vigilant and enhance their awareness of cybersecurity. We should learn to protect our personal information and not easily trust the temptations and promises of strangers. If you encounter online harassment or infringement of personal privacy, you should report the case to the relevant departments in a timely manner to protect your legitimate rights and interests.
Regardless, this case is a reminder that cybersecurity is something that each of us should be concerned about and value. Only through the sanction of the law and the joint efforts of the whole society can we build a safer, healthier and more just online environment. Let us act together to safeguard the security and harmony of cyberspace.
