Sex crimes by minors are increasing because of pornography and a breakdown in family values, a judge has said.
The number of juvenile4 cases involving prostitution, sexual abuse and rape5 has grown since 2002, records from Beijing's Haidian District People's Court showed.
Court Judge Wang Lijuan said 70 percent of the teenaged criminals, most 16 or 17, had not graduated from high school. About 60 percent came from broken homes.
In 2005 there were five cases of rape, compared with 11 last year, she said.
"More than 90 percent of the young criminals involved in rape cases admitted pornographic websites, books and films had influenced them," Wang said.
"Teenagers have plenty of curiosity but little self-control when exposed to obscene material."
Another factor behind the increase in sex crimes by minors is the earlier onset6 of puberty, Li Bian, deputy director of the AIDS Prevention Education Project for Chinese Youth, said.
A recent survey suggested the average age of puberty has dropped from 13 to 11.
"Parents should provide not only material security for their children, they also need to care them and be more enlightened when it comes to the proper transmission of sex knowledge," Wang said.
Li also called for more sex education classes and instruction in the law.
"Young people's knowledge of sex in China lags behind their physical growth," Li said. "Schools are the most important place for the prevention of sex crimes."
Tong Lihua, director of the minor1 protection law committee of the All China Lawyer's Association, called on the government to control the flow of pornography.
"Porn magazines and related publications should be destroyed and movies should be managed according to ratings," Tong said.
"All video shops renting out porn movies and illegal Internet cafes should be shut down."

据一位法官介绍，由于接触色情资料和家庭价值观念的瓦解，未成年人涉性犯罪案件不断上升。
据北京市海淀区人民法院的统计报告显示，从2002年起，未成年人卖淫、性暴力及强奸等性犯罪案件不断上升。
海淀区法院法官王立娟说，70%的少年犯是十六七岁的中学生。其中约60%的人来自破裂家庭。
据她介绍，2005年，海淀区法院共受理了五起未成年人强奸案件，而去年则增加到了11起。
王立娟说：“在这些未成年人强奸案中，超过90%的被告人称自己曾受到黄色网站、色情书刊和电影的影响。”
“青少年的好奇心很强，自控能力较差，很容易受到色情资料的影响。”
中国青少年艾滋病防治教育工程的副主任李扁说，未成年人涉性犯罪案件不断上升的另一个原因是早熟。
近日的一项调查表明，儿童进入青春期的平均年龄从13岁下降到了11岁。
王立娟法官说：“父母不仅要给孩子提供物质保障，还要关心孩子，并且应对他们进行适当的性启蒙教育。”
李扁主任也呼吁学校要多开设性教育课程，普及法律知识。
他说：“中国年轻人对于性知识的掌握落后于他们的身体发育。学校是预防青少年性犯罪的最重要的阵地。”
全国律师协会未成年人保护法委员会主任佟丽华呼吁政府要控制色情资料流入文化市场。
她说：“色情杂志等相关出版物应销毁和取缔，影视作品应实行分级管理，所有出租黄色影碟的音像店和非法网吧都应关闭。”
