Abstract

Grooming is a process of manipulation carried out by the groomer on the child so that the child believes that the groomer is worthy of admiration, trust, and love. If an emotional connection has been created, the groomer will easily commit sexual crimes against children. This research discusses the relationship patterns between groomers and victims, crimes targeted by groomers, and the urgency of drafting a law on child sexual grooming. It is normative juridical research that examines the emptiness of norms regarding child sexual grooming. The groomer builds an emotional relationship with the victim, both offline and online grooming, even starting with online grooming and continuing with offline grooming to realize the target of his actions. Targeted crimes can include obtaining pornographic photos and videos of the victim for the satisfaction of the perpetrator, using the victim's photos to humiliate, oppress and intimidate or take revenge on the victim, obtaining pornographic material to be sold to porn site users, and doing sexual intercourse with children. Unfortunately, Indonesia does not yet have a law on child sexual grooming, so pre-sexual violence is not a criminal offense. Criminalizing the Law on child sexual grooming will increase children's sensitivity to sexual violence.
