Abstract

This article aims to analyze indications of sexual exploitation of children for economic and personal interests that are increasingly easy with the presence of various digital financial applications. In addition to requests, the easiness of financial transactions becomes more common for sexual predators to interact directly with a minor without the intervention of others. This in turn has an impact on the complexity of law enforcement. Several cases of sexual exploitation of children in public emphasize the inhumane treatment of children by utilizing transaction facilities from financial service providers such as e-wallets. This article uses a statutory approach and conceptual approach to research. The results of the study show that child sexual exploitation crime transactions require special, fast, and systematic handling. It is because the phenomenon of increasing sexual exploitation of children is not accompanied by specific regulations that deal with indications of sexual exploitation of children by utilizing technological sophistication in conducting transactions. In addition, law enforcement also experiences uncertainty because there is no instrument that regulates clearly and firmly. In this context, Indonesia must use criminal policy to compile and regulate CSEC to suppress indications of CSEC using e-wallets. Therefore, the government must immediately make rules or draft laws to anticipate this crime.
