This study aims to compare legal protection for victims of digital sexual violence in Indonesia and South Korea and to formulate strategies for strengthening regulations in Indonesia. The method used normative legal research, with a legislative, conceptual, case, and comparative approach, analyzing regulations and legal practices in both countries. The results show that Indonesia already has a legal basis through the TPKS Law, the ITE Law, and the Criminal Code, but does not yet specifically regulate forms of AI-Based DBV such as deepfake pornography. Implementation challenges include digital evidence, inter-agency coordination, and mechanisms for content removal.
