元宇宙相关技术中特别是脑机接口技术的爆发式发展，使得各种网络隔空性侵行为特别是网络性交行为成为现实可能。网络隔空性侵行为的构成要素主要是行为工具（“网络社交平台类”和“远程情趣设备+网络平台”类）、性接触程度（五级）和行为类型（五类）。目前现行刑法对网络隔空性侵行为只能以猥亵类犯罪规制，无法适用强奸罪和负有照护职责人员性侵罪。反思现行刑法对性侵犯罪的规制体系，提出以“性器插入—被插入中心论”的观点来划分性交行为和猥亵行为的界限，建议扩大强奸罪和负有照护职责人员性侵罪的行为对象范围，改强奸罪为强制性交罪。通过构建新的性侵犯罪刑法规制体系，以应对元宇宙技术下各种复杂的网络隔空性侵行为的出现，并以此为契机推动性侵犯罪国际标准的构建。

The explosive development of metaverse-related technologies, especially brain-computer interface technologies, has made various kinds of cyberspace sexual assaults, especially the cyber sexual intercourse, a realistic possibility. The main elements of cyber sexual assault are the tools of the act( "online social platform" and "remote erotic device + online platform"), the degree of sexual contact(the fifth level) and the type of act(five categories). The current criminal law regulates the sexual assault over the Internet only by the crime of indecent assault, and cannot apply to the crime of rape or sexual assault by a person with caregiving duties. With reference to the regulation system of sexual assault under the current criminal law, this paper proposes to delineate the boundary between sexual intercourse and indecent acts according to the viewpoint of "sexual penetration-penetrated center". Further it is suggested to expand the scope of the crime of rape and the crime of sexual assault by a caregiver, and change the crime of rape to the crime of forced intercourse.The construction of a new criminal law system for sexual assault crimes can respond to the emergence of various complex cyber sexual assaults under the metaverse technology, which can be utilized as an opportunity to promote the construction of international standards for sexual assault crimes.
