Abstract

Abuse of internet media and technology is currently carried out by irresponsible people who commit crimes aimed at children to exploit and abuse children for their own profit and to fulfill their sexual desires, one of which is child grooming which occurs in the Hago online game application. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) defines grooming as when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional bond with a child so that they can manipulate, exploit and abuse the child. The research method used is a doctrinal approach with analysis of legal materials and described qualitatively descriptively. Viewed from a victimology perspective, children as a vulnerable group become victims of a crime and see the consequences of child grooming crimes on the physical, psychological and social conditions of children. The actions taken by children and their weak physical and psychological conditions are factors that cause children to often become victims of child grooming crimes. Legal protection for children who are victims of child grooming is carried out through preventive and repressive legal protection. Preventive protection for children as victims of child grooming in the Hago online game is contained in statutory regulations to prevent violations and provide limitations in carrying out obligations, such as regulating rights and prohibitions on being protected and involved in acts of sexual violence, while repressive protection, namely by providing sanctions in the form of imprisonment, fines and additional penalties to the perpetrators as well as handling and restoring the condition of child victims, as well as providing restitution or compensation.
