Abstract

The arrangement of the phrase "non-physical sexual act" in Article 5 of Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) creates legal ambiguity. The use of subjective and unmeasurable parameters such as "improper" in the elucidation section contradicts the principle of legal certainty. This study aims to analyze the phrase's conformity with the lex certa principle and formulate the appropriate normative wording to reflect legal certainty. This legal research utilizes a conceptual approach, statutory approach and a comparative approach, employing prescriptive analysis techniques. The results indicate that the current formulation of Article 5 fails to meet the lex certa standard because the specific behaviors of the criminal act are not contained in the main body of the law but are placed in the elucidation, and the measurement relies on standards that are highly subjective and culturally fluctuating. In conclusion, Article 5 of UU TPKS fails to provide clear boundaries of criminality (foreseeability) for citizens. It is recommended that legislators reconstruct Article 5 by stipulating the specific forms of actions (verbal, gestural, visual, and psychological) directly within the main body of the law and adopting the objective standard of the Reasonable Person Test.
