C Crimes of sexual violence against children are serious offenses that require special legal treatment. although law number 12 of 2022 concerning criminal acts of sexual violence (uu tpks) has been presented as a legal breakthrough to provide maximum protection, practice in the field shows a gap between the threat of severe punishment and the judge\\\'s verdict which is often very minimal. this study aims to analyze the application of article 6 letter b in conjunction with article 15 paragraph (1) letter g of the tpks law in the samarinda district court decision number 244/pid.sus/2025/pn smr and examine the criminal purposes underlying the decision against defendants who repeatedly committed sexual intercourse with children. this study uses a normative legal research type with a doctrinal approach, using literature studies as the method for collecting the main legal materials. the analysis is carried out qualitatively on primary legal materials in the form of court decisions and other secondary legal materials. the results of the study indicate that the application of the articles in the tpks law in the decision still faces problems in interpreting the elements of the offense, especially related to the power relations and forms of control over the victim, so that the judge issued a sentence that is considered not to reflect a sense of substantive justice for child victims. the purpose of punishment in this decision is more dominantly reflecting a retributive approach that focuses on punishing the perpetrator, but has not optimally integrated the principle of aggravating the sentence available in the tpks law and has not fully accommodated the rehabilitative orientation for the perpetrator or the recovery (restorative) approach for the victim. this study suggests the need for more comprehensive legal considerations from judges in optimizing the instrument of aggravating the sentence to achieve proportional justice for child victims of sexual violence.
