The crime of child grooming in Indonesia is a new type of crime. The term child grooming when translated into Indonesian is still difficult to find the appropriate meaning because the term grooming resembles an activity in the framework of caring for animals that are kept. Child grooming is a prohibited act carried out by adults against children with the aim of obtaining sexual satisfaction by persuading or seducing and even deceiving the child online. Even though the crime of child grooming is a new type of crime in Indonesia, regulations regarding this crime have been regulated in several laws and regulations, including Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection, Law Number 19 of 2014. 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, and Law Number 44 of 2008 concerning Pornography and Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Crimes of Sexual Violence which are the most recent regulations. The consequences of the crime of child grooming are closely related to the growth and development of children both physically and psychologically and socially. Therefore, proper enforcement is needed in carrying out this legal protection.
