It is like an unstable time bomb buried in people's hearts, which will blow your last defense line to the bone at any time. Here I ask you from my heart, humbly and humbly, if you could define the law, how would you punish the devil behind children's sexual assault?
Small edition to provide you with the implementation of several foreign laws to treat sexually assaulted children as a reference.
South Korean draft law: sexual assault on children is more severe than murder
Chemical castration of serious crimes
South Korea's Ministry of women's families said Thursday it would amend relevant laws, and criminals who commit sexual violence against children and adolescents will be sentenced to life imprisonment or more than 10 years' imprisonment. Quantitative punishment is more severe than homicide.
In order to severely punish children's sexual crimes, the South Korean government has adjusted the maximum sentence for children's sexual crimes from 15 years to 50 years. In July 2011, South Korea's first act on chemical castration for serious crimes was passed. On May 21 this year, South Korea's Ministry of justice officially castrated Park Mou, a pedophile and habitual offender, for the first time for three years. South Korea has also become the first country in Asia to implement chemical castration.

No access to children in public places
On May 17, 1996, President Clinton signed the Megan act, which became popular in all States of the United States. The Megan Act stipulates that, in order to prevent the criminal ex convicts from harming the society after being released from prison, the police will take the fingerprints, smells and DNA of the rapists and keep them on file forever. After the rapist is released from prison, the police in his community will also put his photos, address, appearance and other personal information on the Internet for reading to remind the public to take precautions. In 2004, the Megan act further developed: criminals who sexually assaulted children were required to wear wrist warning signs and electronic trackers during parole. If a person has committed a crime twice or more, he must go to the police for questioning every three months after he is released from prison, and report to the police in time even when his beard, hairstyle and other physical features have changed.
Registration is usually only the beginning, and sometimes sexual offenders are forbidden to access places where children gather. In Georgia, sex offenders are not allowed to work or live within 300 meters of schools, churches, parks, skating rinks or swimming pools. Offenders are immediately arrested. In recent years, many communities in the United States have begun to regulate the areas where sex offenders live, and more and more public places are forbidden to them, including North Carolina, Washington, Massachusetts, Arizona, etc.
In the United States, although the sentencing of rape or indecency of minors varies from state to state, it is regarded as a felony. Several state laws provide that sexual relations with children under the age of 14, whether voluntary or not, are treated as rape. Five states allow the death penalty for rape of young children. In the United States, the police have been cracking down on children's pornography. Even the possession of children's pornographic photos at home is a crime.
Sexual relations between Japanese ban and minors
In Japan, assisted communication often leads to sexual crimes. For this reason, Japan established the punishment law of children buying spring and child pornography as early as 1999, which stipulates that if children under the age of 18 are allowed to provide sexual intercourse or services through money, it will be regarded as "children buying spring". Sexual intercourse or indecency with a child under the age of 18 is punishable whether there is money or not.
Germany allows sex offenders to choose voluntarily whether or not 'chemical castration'
Germany is probably the most strict in Europe in punishing child rape. As in the United States, having sex with a minor under the age of 14 is considered rape. Psychologists have proved that many of the criminals who have committed rape have not really improved after being released, and will go on the same criminal road for the second and third time. It is difficult to stop a crime by punishment alone.
In view of this, Germany allows sex offenders to choose voluntarily whether to have 'chemical castration' through surgery. The so-called chemical castration mainly refers to the injection of estrogen and antidepressant drugs to reduce sexual impulse. As a condition of commutation and parole, pedophilia criminals are treated with drugs.
Prevention of sexual abuse education for children in Britain and Switzerland
In many countries, children's sex education not only tells about the physical and psychological changes of boys and girls during adolescence, but also focuses on the popularization of prevention and protection education and its inclusion in education plans. Education in this area is mainly about the countermeasures and skills to deal with sexual harassment and how to help yourself or seek help in critical situations.
In Britain, sex education is included in the curriculum, which is carried out according to the specific provisions of the national compulsory science curriculum. From the age of five, children have received courses in school on the prevention of sexual assault. The course will explain to students which parts of the body belong to private places that adults cannot touch. The offended children often don't understand what happened, so they need knowledge about it.
The Swiss child protection association has also launched a primary school education campaign to prevent sexual abuse. The theme of this publicity and education activity is "my body belongs to me". It mainly explains to the primary school students what is sexual assault in the form of interactive exhibition, how to deal with the opposite sex properly and so on. At the same time, it lets them know how to ask for help when suffering sexual assault. Besides primary school students, this activity also includes their teachers and parents, because they play a crucial role in the healthy growth of primary school students.
Different ways to deal with children's sexual assault in different countries

The perpetrator shall be convicted and punished for the crime of rape in accordance with the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 236 of the criminal law, regardless of whether the child is willing or not, knowing that the other party is a child under the age of 14, and both parties are willing to have sexual relations without serious consequences, and the circumstances are obviously minor, so the perpetrator shall not be deemed as a crime.
There is no crime of "sodomy" in China. Boys can only be prosecuted for "child molestation" or "intentional injury"
'& lsquo; sodomy & rsquo; is just a folk saying, not a legal concept in China. At present, there is no clear law to punish sodomy, which is in a blank state. "Zhong Wendong, deputy director of the criminal law professional committee of the provincial Lawyers Association, explained.
'according to the law of our country, the victim of rape must be a woman. Zhong Wendong told reporters that for Li Jun, if the victim is less than 14 years old, he may be prosecuted for 'child molestation'. According to the criminal law of China, whoever forcibly molests or insults a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. Whoever gathers people together or in public places to commit the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years. Whoever molests a child shall be given a heavier punishment in accordance with the preceding two paragraphs.
It's also up to parents, teachers and children themselves to make the most of their children's protection from sexual abuse
To combat the crime of sexual assault on children, it is important to take strict legal measures, but these are not enough. To prevent children's sexual assault, parents need to have enough awareness of sex education to remind children how to better protect themselves. Sex education in schools should also include prevention of sexual abuse, which is needed by teachers, parents and children, just like the above-mentioned activities of the Swiss child protection association. It is not only the parents or the law that can restrain and protect children from sexual assault, but also the protection of the whole society to give them a safe environment.
