Can I report sexual harassment on WeChat to the police and how to deal with it?

WeChat harassment can be reported to the police and filed.

Since WeChat harassment is less harmful to the victim, according to local standards for filing harassment cases, cases that meet the standards will be accepted, and are generally handled by the police station.
