The crime of extortion and threatening through sexually charged content is a form of cybercrime that is increasingly prevalent due to the rapid use of instant messaging applications such as Telegram. In this crime, victims are not only subjected to threats of spreading private sexual content, but also experience significant psychological, social and emotional impacts. Victimology, as the study of victims, emphasises the importance of understanding the position, role and impact of victims in a crime, so that victims are not only seen as objects, but also as subjects who are entitled to protection, recovery and justice. The research method used in this research is normative juridical by examining laws and regulations, legal literature, and court decisions, whose data collection is through library research, the legal sources used in this writing are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials.
