On October 31, the topic of "sexual consent determination" in the case of Bu, a female master's degree holder who was "taken in," reached the Weibo trending list, peaking at No. 13. Bu suffers from schizophrenia and lacks the capacity for sexual self-defense. She cohabited with Zhang Moujun for over a decade without a marriage certificate. Zhang Moujun was not prosecuted, while two villagers were publicly prosecuted.

Prosecutors argued that Zhang Moujun's long-term stable cohabitation with and care for Bu Mou, a missing female master's student suffering from schizophrenia and lacking the capacity for sexual self-defense, constituted "forming a family and living together," which is "fundamentally different" from the crime of rape, and thus decided not to prosecute. His collection of a 40,000 yuan "adoption fee" for giving away a child was also deemed a private adoption and not a crime.
