In connection with this, related to the crime of sexual violence that can happen to anyone, including adult men who can become victims, this should be a special concern for law enforcement. However, it is not uncommon for views from the community regarding an unbalanced assessment of a community group, namely to men who are often not considered as a serious matter by the community. The majority of sexual violence crimes that occur in Indonesia occur against women and children as victims. The regulation of criminal acts of sexual violence in the Indonesian Criminal Code which is still considered lacking in protection against certain parties or groups is the author's idea or idea to suggest that there is a need to improve the provisions for regulating sexual violence crimes in Indonesia. The problem in this study is how the urgency of regulating sexual violence crimes is expected to be a solution for the community, especially victims of the crime of sexual violence.
