<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the implementation of restitution rights for child victims of sexual violence in Gorontalo City and to analyze the legal framework governing these rights. This research applied an empirical normative legal method, employing statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. The findings showed that restitution rights for child victims may be pursued from the moment the case is reported to the local police. Victims may file a civil lawsuit for damages directly with the local district court or through the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). However, field implementation still faced several obstacles, including limited understanding and awareness among victims and law enforcement officials regarding restitution, as well as inconsistencies in restitution regulations across various laws. The legal framework for restitution rights in Indonesia is set out in multiple regulations, including Law No. 31 of 2014 on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, Law No. 12 of 2022 on the Crime of Sexual Violence, Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2022 on Procedures for Settlement of Restitution and Compensation Claims for Crime Victims, and Government Regulation No. 7 of 2018 on the Provision of Compensation, Restitution, and Assistance to Witnesses and Victims.]]>
