Committing rape in China may result in sentencing of a fixed-term imprisonment from three years to ten years, and if one of a list of "serious circumstances" spelled out in The PRC Criminal Law happens, a fixed-term imprisonment from ten years up to the death penalty may be imposed. The "serious circumstances" include (i) raping women or minors; (ii) raping a number of women or girls under the age of fourteen; (iii) raping a woman in public; (iv) raping in rotation by more than two offenders; and (v) causing serious injury or death to the victim or any other serious consequences.
