Abstract

One of the sexual crimes against children that appears in the public is child grooming, which is an effort made by someone to build a relationship with the victim, then gradually prepare situations and conditions so that the victim is more compliant and complies with the wishes of the perpetrator, when the victim is compliant, the perpetrator will manipulate the victim so that the victim will be more compliant and not reveal the sexual crimes committed by the perpetrator. The act of child grooming is a form of sexual violence against children, although not all sexual violence is included in child grooming. based on data on cases of sexual violence against children handled by the Samarinda Police PPA Unit in 2021, there were 19 people. Law enforcement is a guide for people to act and behave in accordance with the legal norms that exist in society and the state. The act of child grooming is a form of sexual disorder by seducing children, manipulating victims until the action leads to an act of sexual harassment or violence. It is clear that the targets of child grooming crimes are minors. In this paper, using a doctrinal approach where legal research studies are carried out with a legal and social science approach. Sources of legal and social materials, this paper uses primary data in the form of legal and social materials and also uses secondary data in the form of literature in the form of books, journals, etc. that are relevant and can be used as supporting data for this paper. Child grooming does not have a specific regulation in Indonesian legislation, so police investigators have difficulty when making decisions so that law enforcement officials exercise discretion to be able to impose penalties on perpetrators where they analyze and approach legislation that is deemed to have similar elements and fulfill the elements of the crime.
