Abstract.Sexual violence committed by medical professionals constitutes a serious violation of human rights and professional ethics, particularly due to the abuse of power and trust inherent in the doctor–patient relationship. Patients are placed in a vulnerable position, both physically and psychologically, which increases the risk of victimization. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection afforded to victims of sexual violence committed by doctors under Indonesian positive law, particularly Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS), and to examine preventive measures from a victimological perspective. This research employs a normative juridical approach with descriptive-analytical characteristics, utilizing primary legal materials such as statutory regulations and secondary materials including legal doctrines and scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the enactment of UU TPKS marks a paradigm shift toward a victim-centered approach by recognizing abuse of power as an aggravating factor and guaranteeing victims’ rights to protection, recovery, and restitution. Furthermore, victimology emphasizes the importance of preventing secondary victimization through legal safeguards, ethical enforcement, and institutional accountability within the medical profession. Preventive efforts must involve stricter supervision, effective ethical sanctions, and increased awareness to restore public trust in healthcare services. Therefore, the integration of victimological principles within the criminal justice system is essential to ensure comprehensive legal protection and justice for victims of sexual violence by medical professionals.
