<![CDATA[Abstract Virtual reality is a renewable technology that allows users to feel the sensation of the real world in cyberspace. Virtual reality is actually used by people to commit crimes in the form of sexual violence through real-time virtual reality-based games. Sexual violence is carried out by players by controlling their visuals in the virtual world in the form of avatars through the real world to groping the visuals of their co-stars in the game. Although the actions taken by the perpetrators were not actually directed at the victim's body, the consequences of these actions can be felt by the victim because they use virtual reality technology. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics and regulations related to sexual violence, especially virtual groping. Regulations on sexual violence have not been specifically regulated, t, this has the effect of legal obscurity and the potential for a legal vacuum so that perpetrators of sexual violence, especially virtual reality, are difficult to prosecute. This research was conducted using two approaches namely the statute approach and the conceptual approach. Keywords: Sexual Violence; Virtual Groping; Virtual Reality; Real-Time Multiplayer Game.
