Malicious defamation of others' reputation in various ways, if the circumstances are serious and cause certain consequences to others, can be sued to the court for criminal responsibility, if the circumstances are serious, it can constitute a crime of defamation.
 The right of reputation is inherent, and has nothing to do with age, money and gender. Generally, those who infringe upon the right of reputation will not lose money. They will apologize or restore the right of reputation. Although it is not a criminal case, it will also be punished for public security. As long as you enter the police station of the Public Security Bureau, you will have a record of the case.
