A training class on how to deal with cases of sexual assault on minors was started on Tuesday in Beijing, according to China's top court.

Senior prosecutors, judges and social workers responsible for juvenile protection shared their experience with 400 trainees during the class, said the Supreme People's Court, which organized and developed the class.

In other words, the training did not only cover laws related to the issue, but also judicial officers' practices, the court said.

The court also invited an Australian institute to introduce how they deal with juvenile sexual assault cases, the court added.
