Results: Mainland China faces three key issues: misprioritizing public morality over sexual autonomy, insurmountable private prosecution evidence burdens (relief rate <30%), and inconsistent convictions. Taiwan Region’s specialized charge achieves 70%+ relief rates via public prosecution and targeted protection. Conclusions: Mainland China must establish a specialized DFII charge—centered on sexual autonomy, using public prosecution—to meet UN obligations, resolve judicial dilemmas, and advance cybercrime governance. Future research may explore unidentifiable DFII.
