Abstract

Sexual violence is currently increasing with the development of internet-based technology media
access, technology products, and various applications and social media. The forms of sexual violence
that often occur today are changing in digital form which is manifested in the language of
communication in the routine of social interaction. This form of sexual violence is known as sexting.
The term sexting refers to the sending and receiving of sexually explicit images through some form of
virtual messaging, where a person sends messages or materials in the form of explicit images and
videos electronically, especially through mobile phones, the internet and other electronic media. The
growth in the number of teenage victims of online crime is very rapid, the number of internet users and
many teenagers are irresponsible in using social media technology, especially in text. This can be seen
from the survey results that eight out of ten teenagers say they have had sex by sexting. In the city of
Tasikmalaya, complaints of student sexting are found every year to the Integrated Service Center for
the Protection of Women and Children, so that effective services and handling are needed in preventing
sexting and assisting victims of adolescent sexting. The activity was carried out in a series of community
service science and technology for the community (IbM) Tasikmalaya Health Polytechnic. The activity
will be carried out within 1 year.
