From July 2021 to July 2023, the defendant Li Moumou added the victim as a friend on QQ, obtained the victim's selfies, and then asked for nude photos, and searched for girls around 14 years old on the Internet to commit indecency.
If refused, Li Moumou used AI face-changing to synthesize the victim's nude photos, and coerced the victim to send nude photos and videos to him by posting the photos online or to the victim's parents or friends. After that, Li Moumou continued to coerce the victim with the photos and videos he obtained. Through the above-mentioned means, Li Moumou repeatedly committed indecent acts against multiple victims.

His behavior constituted the crime of child molestation. In addition, defendant Li Moumou continued to use the same means to forcibly molest one of the victims after he reached the age of fourteen. His behavior constituted the crime of forcible indecency and should be punished for several crimes according to law.
