Review of Prosecutions for Perpetrators of Sexual Abuse Against Santri in Indonesia

Abstract

Pondok Pesantren which is known as a place to study Islam began to transform. Education at Pondok Pesantren aims to study, develop, and deepen religious science and conduct religious studies through the Yellow Book. However, on the contrary, there are some Pesantren Huts that have begun to commit immoral behavior towards students by unethical teachers. Children are a particularly vulnerable group to sexual abuse because they are always portrayed as weak, helpless, and highly dependent on adults. This makes them tight-lipped not to tell the chronology of the incident because it has been threatened by the perpetrator. So this study aims to find out the punishment for perpetrators of sexual abuse that result in child students becoming victims reviewed from Indonesia's positive laws and the protection of victims using special laws governing child protection. The research method used is normative juridical by examining literature materials or secondary data only. Research shows that the execution of perpetrators is carried out by the process of proving visum et repertum from doctors.
