Abstract

Introduction: The rapid development of information and communication technology has changed the landscape of people's lives, making the digital space an essential arena for interaction. However, this progress has also opened a gap for the birth of cybercrime, including threats and the spread of immoral content through electronic media. These crimes not only violate legal norms, but also threaten the privacy, dignity, and psychological condition of victims, thus creating new challenges in realizing justice. Purposes of the Research: To analyze the criminal law arrangements in Indonesia related to criminal acts of threats and the dissemination of immoral content through electronic media, examine the criminal liability of perpetrators based on the Tanjungkarang District Court Decision Number 1056/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Tjk, and evaluate the extent to which the judge's considerations in the decision reflect the principles of digital justice for victims. Methods of the Research: The research uses normative and empirical legal approaches with conceptual study methods, legislative analysis, and case studies. Secondary data (laws and regulations, literature) and primary data (interviews with law enforcement officials) were collected and analyzed qualitatively. Results Main Findings of the Research: The findings show that Indonesia's criminal law, through the Electronic Information and Transaction Law, the Pornography Law, and the Criminal Code, has comprehensively regulated this crime. The criminal responsibility of the perpetrators has been analyzed based on the elements of acts, mistakes, and the ability to be responsible. The Tanjungkarang District Court Decision Number 1056/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Tjk reflects the principle of digital justice by considering the psychological and social impact of the victim and imposing strict penalties. However, the digital justice that is realized is still partial because it does not explicitly include a comprehensive victim recovery mechanism.
