Study on the Dilemma of Judicial Recognition and Regulatory Path of Child Molestation in Network Spacing

Abstract

The characteristics of cyber-indecent molestation, based on the fact that they are committed over space, are controversial when it comes to determining indecent assault offences. Even though the judicial interpretations provide for some of the criteria for determining cyber-indecency offences against minors, there are still dilemmas in the determination of cyber-indecency offences in terms of the manner of the act, the distinction between the applicable targets of the circumstances, and the aggravating circumstances. In order to further advance the judicial application, the mandatory nature of cyber-space molestation offences should be clearly defined, and the time point for the completion of cyber-space molestation of children should be clarified, so as to further clarify the determination of aggravating circumstances of cyber-space molestation of children, and to construct a typological criminal law application system.
