Abstract

Anak korban pencabulan telah memperoleh berbagai jaminan perlindungan dalam hukum Indonesia, tetapi pengakuan hak belum selalu menjelaskan bagaimana anak dapat menggunakannya dalam proses pidana. Penelitian hukum normatif ini mengkaji hubungan UU Perlindungan Anak, UU Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, UU Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual, dan KUHAP 2025 melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan serta konseptual. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa perlindungan khusus sudah mempunyai dasar hukum, sedangkan bentuk tanggapan aparat terhadap pandangan anak masih memerlukan penjabaran prosedural. Anak dapat diberi informasi dan pendampingan tanpa memperoleh ruang yang jelas untuk menyatakan keberatan terhadap cara pemeriksaan yang memengaruhi keselamatannya. Penelitian mengajukan konsep agensi prosedural yang dapat dilaksanakan melalui komunikasi sesuai usia, kesempatan menyampaikan kebutuhan, pencatatan alasan keputusan, dan akses pada mekanisme pengaduan yang tersedia. Usulan tersebut merupakan konstruksi preskriptif, bukan klaim bahwa seluruh kewajiban telah diatur secara rinci atau tidak dilaksanakan oleh aparat. Hak anak perlu dijalankan tanpa menggeser kewenangan penuntutan negara dan jaminan peradilan yang adil bagi terdakwa.
