Abstract

Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui dan menganalisis penerapan hukum pidana persetubuhan terhadap anak pada putusan hakim Nomor 124/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Selong dan bagaimana pertimbangan majelis hakim terhadap tindak pidana persetubuhan terhadap anak dalam putusan hakim Nomor 124/Pid.Sus/PN Selong. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif yang menggunakan metode pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan kasus. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian yaitu (1) penerapan pidana terutama terhadap terdakwa Abah tidak sesuai jika mengacu pada Asas Legalitas karena penjatuhan pidananya batal demi hukum jika mengacu pada Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (KUHAP) Pasal 183 dan putusan hakim tersebut tidak mencerminkan adanya keadilan bagi terdakwa. (2) pertimbangan majelis hakim terhadap tindak pidana persetubuhan terhadap anak pada putusan Nomor 124/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Selong belum cukup untuk menjatuhkan pidana terhadap terdakwa mulai dari keterangan saksi anak korban, para saksi, keterangan saksi ahli, keterangan terdakwa, dan bukti-bukti surat yang dihadirkan di dalam persidangan tersebut, sehingga hal tersebut memberatkan hakim dalam mempertimbangkan putusan yang tepat.

Review

This paper undertakes a crucial juridical analysis of a criminal case involving child sexual assault, focusing on Putusan Nomor: 124/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.Selong. The research aims to critically examine both the application of criminal law in this specific judgment and the considerations made by the judicial panel. Employing a robust normative legal research methodology, the study utilizes statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, providing a comprehensive framework for its investigation. This focused case study is particularly relevant given the sensitive nature of child protection and the imperative for precise legal application within the justice system. The findings of this research are highly critical and impactful. Firstly, the study concludes that the application of criminal law, particularly concerning the defendant "Abah," potentially violates the Principle of Legality (*Asas Legalitas*) and Article 183 of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), rendering the sentencing *batal demi hukum* (null and void by law). This raises serious concerns about the fairness and legality of the judgment and its failure to reflect justice for the defendant. Secondly, the paper argues that the judicial panel's considerations regarding the child sexual assault offense were based on insufficient evidence, encompassing testimonies from the child victim, other witnesses, expert opinions, the defendant's statement, and documentary evidence. This perceived inadequacy of evidence presented a significant challenge for the judges in arriving at an appropriate and just decision. Overall, this paper makes a substantial contribution to legal scholarship by offering a meticulous and critical examination of a specific court decision. Its findings not only highlight potential misapplications of fundamental legal principles, such as the Principle of Legality, but also underscore the practical challenges judges face in evaluating evidence in sensitive cases of child sexual assault. The research serves as a vital resource for legal practitioners, judges, and policymakers, encouraging a re-evaluation of evidentiary standards and strict adherence to procedural law in safeguarding both justice for victims and the rights of the accused within the Indonesian legal system.
