- Abstract
The involvement of a child in legal matters can make society insensitive to justice and underestimate the role of children as the next generation of the nation. This condition should be a deep concern for parents in accompanying and supervising children’s behavior. A child is someone immature both mentally and physically, who still needs to be guided and supervised in his association. This ignorance of children often makes children do deviant behaviors and tend to do evil. Behavior that deviates from the norm will usually create a new problem in the legal field and harm society. In Indonesia itself, there are special arrangements regarding children which are regulated in Law Number 23 of 2002 of Child Protection. The problem raised in this research is how to regulate child protection in online sexual crimes in terms of law number 35 of 2014 on child protection (case study decision number 1466/pid.sus/2017/jkt.sel)? The author examines the problem by using normative legal research methods. The data from the research show that the case in this decision proves that there is still a gap for perpetrators of crimes related to children, where perpetrators who have been proven to have committed criminal acts intentionally selling and distributing videos of immoral children should receive the harshest punishment, but the judge eased the sentence.
