According to the criminal law of the PRC, only females can be victims of rape, and a [[male rape|man who has been raped]] cannot accuse the rapists (who can be men or women) of rape. However, the criminal law of the PRC's constitution in mainland China had been amended in August 2015. Thus, males can be victims of indecency, but the articles on the criminal law which are related to rape still remain unchanged, so male rape victims can only accuse the rapists of indecency.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.npc.gov.cn/npc/xinwen/2015-08/31/content_1945587.htm |script-title=zh:中华人民共和国刑法修正案（九） |access-date=1 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171202111952/http://www.npc.gov.cn/npc/xinwen/2015-08/31/content_1945587.htm |archive-date=2 December 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://npc.people.com.cn/n/2014/1027/c14576-25915262.html |script-title=zh:刑法修改：猥亵罪不再限定女性收买妇女儿童一律构成犯罪}}</ref>
