Recently, a case of “indecency in the air” disclosed by media reports has attracted attention. Under the cover of the Internet, Shu exerted pressure and control on many underage girls, forced them to comply, asked for private photos, and carried out “indecency in the air” against them.
The court ruled that the defendant Shu X was guilty of child molestation and was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for five years; He was convicted of forcible indecency and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment, and it was decided to serve 15 years and six months imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for five years.
Shu, male, born in 1998 (an adult at the time of the crime), was unemployed before the incident. From 2019 to 2022, Shu took the initiative to meet a number of juvenile victims aged 7-14 through online platforms for the purpose of pursuing sexual stimulation.
Shu carefully created a persona on the Internet, pretending to be a girl about 10 years old, wanting to be friends with the other party and deceive her personal information. then first took the initiative to post nude photos to the other party, claiming that it was his own photo, and then tricked the little girl into “If you want to be my best friend, you have to send your photos”; Or “I don’t feel like I’m developing well and I want to see how you’re doing” and so on.



After the girl takes the bait, Shu will show his true colors and become more violent, if a girl wants to get out of his control, he will use “send the photo to others” as a threat.

Although Shu confessed that he “molested” more than 40 underage girls in the air, no one actually called the police. Shu’s arrival was due to the fact that an online platform was inspecting in the background and found that an account was asking for photos and videos from minors, and the platform reported to the police, and Shu was arrested.
Li Siyao, the prosecutor handling the case, revealed that some of these girls were too young to report to the police because they were violated, but when the investigators found them, they were willing to tell their victimization experiences. At this time, the difficulty of obtaining evidence often comes from parents, “many times parents do not cooperate, he will feel that this matter is disgraceful.”
Li Siyao said: “When children face their parents, they are afraid that their parents will blame them; On the contrary, after contacting us, we will tell her that it is the suspect’s fault, and there is nothing wrong with you. She can get some comfort and expression from these processes. But many parents don’t understand, they think that the child will be fine after the time passes. This may require a shift in perception. ”
The Haidian District Procuratorate of Beijing Municipality filed a public prosecution with the Haidian District Court on suspicion of child molestation and forcible indecency. On March 28, 2024, the Haidian District Court convicted Shu of child molestation in accordance with the law, and sentenced him to 15 years in prison and deprivation of political rights for five years; He was convicted of forcible indecency and sentenced to one year’s imprisonment, and was sentenced to 15 years and six months in prison and deprived of political rights for five years.
