JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR RI Didik Mukrianto encouraged an examination of the Palangka Raya District Court (PN) decision, Central Kalimantan, which sentenced police officers who carried out sexual violence against children only with a sentence of two months in prison. The verdict is considered to have hurt the sense of justice. Didik Mukrianto understands the public's disappointment due to the Palangka Raya District Court's decision amid public anxiety over the many sexual crimes that have occurred. Moreover, said Didik, the perpetrator is an active police officer who should protect the community. "This “jar, this decision is considered to injure the public's sense of justice, considering that the perpetrators of violence are law enforcement officers and the victims are minors who in the TPKS Law are the weight of punishment for perpetrators of sexual violence," Didik said in his statement, Friday, August 18. As is known, the panel of judges at the Palangka Raya District Court found Mahmud bin Hadi Mulyanto guilty of sexually assaulting 2 minors with the initials M and D. Despite being found guilty, the police officer with the rank of AKP was only sentenced to two months in prison and a fine of Rp. 5 million. Didik explained, in Article 15 Paragraph (1) of Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS) it was stated that there was an additional penalty for perpetrators of sexual violence from certain professions. Even the penalty can be increased by 1/3 from the criminal threat. “ Sexual violence is a violation of human rights, a crime against human dignity, and a form of discrimination that must be abolished, ” said Didik. Didik stated that sexual violence greatly affects the lives and future of victims due to trauma. Therefore, he considered that every perpetrator of sexual violence would be punished according to his actions. " “ We don't want the public to lose their trust in realizing justice through the judge's decision. If the public has been thinking that the judge is God's representative in the world, what about the opinion of the public if there is a judge's decision that is felt unfair and injures the public's sense of justice? Then who is the judge in the world? "said Didik. Therefore, this Democrat politician suggested that an examination of the judge's decision in this sexual violence case in Palangka Raya be carried out. “ There is nothing wrong with examinating the verdict at public request. In addition to aiming to find out the extent of the legal considerations from the judge who decided the case in accordance with the legal principles and legal procedures of the event, it is also to find out whether the decision has touched the public's sense of justice,” explained Didik. Didik is worried that the dignity and integrity of the judiciary will be tarnished if public anxiety over the decision is not followed up further. Moreover, according to him, the dignity and integrity of the judiciary actually stems from the integrity and quality of the judges.
The measured parameter for assessing the quality and competence of judges is through its decision. Thus, it is hoped that the supervision and guidance of the judges can also be more measurable and objective,” concluded the legislator from the East Java IX electoral district.
