Definition
诱奸 is a legal and criminal term covering two related but distinct acts: (1) seducing someone into sexual intercourse through deception or inducement, and (2) statutory rape — sexual intercourse with a minor below the age of consent, even if the minor appears to consent. In Chinese law, the second sense is the more common usage, often appearing in news reports and legal documents. The word carries strong negative moral and legal weight.
