<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the application of law and judicial considerations toward perpetrators of sexual violence against children in Decision Number 143/Pid.Sus/2025/PN.Pin. The research employs a normative juridical method with a statute and case approach, using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analyzed deductively. The findings indicate that the decision complies with Article 81 paragraph (3) of Law Number 35 of 2014 in conjunction with Law Number 17 of 2016 and Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code, by imposing a sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment and a fine of IDR 800,000,000.00, substitutable by 3 months’ imprisonment. However, the decision does not yet provide comprehensive protection for the victim, because the rights to treatment, protection, recovery, and restitution under Law Number 12 of 2022 have not been adequately considered. The judges’ reasoning is based on the indictment, witness statements, evidence, the defendant’s testimony, and trial facts proving repeated sexual intercourse by the father with his biological child, resulting in pregnancy and childbirth, supplemented by non-legal considerations regarding the impact on the victim, the relationship between perpetrator and victim, and aggravating and mitigating circumstances. The study affirms that victim-oriented justice requires not only punishing the perpetrator but also fully realizing the victim’s rights.]]>
