Abstract

Sexual harassment has become a social problem that is still widely encountered, both directly and through online media such as Instagram, Twitter Facebook, Youtube, Whatsap, and TikTok. How the form of application of the crime still seems to have multiple interpretations even though the crime continues to occur. Based on this background, this research focuses on how the law on sexual harassment through online media is applied in Indonesia. The type of analysis used is normative legal analysis using a legal approach and a conceptual approach. The legal materials used consist of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. The technique of collecting legal materials is done by using library techniques. The legal material analysis technique used is descriptive analysis, this analysis uses materials that have been obtained and then systematically arranged which will then be analyzed. The results of this study are that prior to the existence of the TPKS Law, the application of the criminal act of sexual harassment through online media was not specifically regulated in existing laws. So that in its completion it can use several laws and regulations such as the Criminal Code, the Pornography Law, and the ITE Law. This is what causes the occurrence of two or more similar cases that may differ in the statutory rules used in each case. So that the existing laws can overlap with each other in their application to cases of sexual harassment through online media.
