ANALISIS YURIDIS PENERAPAN SANKSI PIDANA DALAM UPAYA PENANGANAN KEJAHATAN KEKERASAN SEKSUAL TERHADAP ANAK DIBAWAH UMUR

Abstract

Crimes of sexual violence in Indonesia are currently very worrying, especially those that occur among children who will become this nation's young generation. The problem is how to apply the law to perpetrators of crimes of sexual violence against children based on the law in force in Indonesia based on Decision Number 1922/Pid.Sus/2022/PN Tng. The aim of this research is to determine legal protection for children who are victims of sexual violence and criminal sanctions against perpetrators of crimes of sexual violence against children based on Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection. This research is normative juridical in nature which refers to literature, document studies and the Criminal Code relating to the formulation of the problem. The results of this research are that the judge's decision to impose criminal sanctions in Decision Number 1922/Pid.Sus/2022/PN is still inadequate because the sentence is too light, 9 (nine) years, which is not commensurate with the provisions of article 82 paragraph (2) of Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Protection of children who are subject to a maximum sentence of 15 (fifteen) years.
