Abstract
Objective: The issue of sexual violence, particularly child molestation, demands even more intensive and serious attention. This is crucial, given the tendency for child victims to be frequently overlooked by competent institutions within the criminal justice system. Method: To address these issues, the research collects data through interviews, observations, and literature reviews. The study employs legal, case, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Result and Discussion: Data and facts still show that the position of children as a group is vulnerable to becoming victims of violent crimes. The following is data on children as victims of sexual intercourse that occurred in the period 2018 to 2022 in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara Indonesia. Based on the data, it shows that the number of cases of child sexual violence has fluctuated. It increased drastically in 2019, one year before the corona virus pandemic broke out in Indonesia. Conclusion: Based on the criteria of criminalization, the existing regulatory framework is already in line with and fulfills the need for legal boundaries in society. However, what remains a continuous effort for optimization is consistency in law enforcement.
