Abstract

Sexual intercourse with children is a criminal offense that causes long-term physical, psychological, and social harm. The dominance of retributive sentencing raises concerns about the marginalization of victim recovery and restorative justice. This study examines whether Indonesian criminal law, in practice, has integrated victim-oriented protection and restorative principles in adjudicating sexual offenses against minors. Using normative legal research with a case approach, it analyzes statutory child protection provisions and the ratio decidendi of Ponorogo District Court Decision Number 16/PID.SUS/2025/PN Png, focusing on the construction of fault (schuld), judicial reasoning, and sentencing orientation, particularly regarding juvenile consent and restorative justice. The findings show that the court strictly applied Article 81 paragraph (2) of the Child Protection Law, affirming the legal irrelevance of a child’s consent and recognizing persuasion through promises of marriage as sufficient to establish intent (dolus). The defendant was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment and a fine of IDR 200 million, reflecting a predominantly retributive and deterrent approach. However, the judgment gave limited attention to restorative justice, as victim recovery, psychological rehabilitation, and participatory restorative measures were not explicitly incorporated into the sentencing rationale..

Abstract

This study examines criminal law reform in relation to the application of restorative justice and child protection under the 2023 Criminal Code (KUHP). It addresses two research questions: (1) how the principle of restorative justice is applied in the 2023 KUHP in cases involving children, and (2) the extent to which the 2023 KUHP guarantees legal protection for children as victims and perpetrators of criminal acts. The research uses a normative doctrinal method with a literature study approach to relevant legislation and legal doctrines. The study identifies a gap in the implementation of restorative justice, which has not yet fully accommodated the need for comprehensive child protection. The findings indicate that the 2023 Criminal Code represents significant progress in integrating restorative justice as an alternative mechanism for resolving criminal cases; however, legal protection for children still requires stronger implementation mechanisms to align with the principles of children’s rights and the special protection mandated by national and international law.
