Abstract

Pornography is a subject of social criticism because it is considered a violation of moral norms and is increasingly accessible to anyone. Over time, pornography crimes have shifted to using the internet, including the distribution of pornographic content accompanied by threats. This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of investigations into the distribution of pornographic content accompanied by threats at the Banjarnegara Police Station, including the obstacles and solutions. The research method is sociological juridical, with analytical descriptive research specifications. The data used are primary and secondary data. Data collection methods include field studies and literature reviews. Data analysis utilizes qualitative analysis. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the investigation into the distribution of pornographic content accompanied by threats at the Banjarnegara Police Station was carried out in accordance with applicable laws, from the investigation stage to the filing of the case and the handover of the suspect and evidence to the public prosecutor. Foreign platforms not subject to Indonesian law, difficulties in maintaining confidentiality and protecting victims, limited facilities and infrastructure, and victims' reluctance to report and withdraw reports. Solutions include updating the ITE Law, coordinating with the Central Java Regional Police and maximizing OSINT (Osint Intelligence) capabilities, regularly rotating personnel training to the Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim), utilizing emergency channels for urgent cases, tightening internal procedures in case handling, optimizing coordination with the Semarang Branch of the Indonesian National Police Forensic Laboratory (Laborat Polri), and proposing the procurement of digital forensic equipment and improving personnel skills in digital forensics, as well as educating victims about their rights before making a decision to withdraw a report.
