This research is conducted using the normative method which is done by examining library materials or secondary data. The results show that although the ITE Law does not yet have a specific law governing sexting in Indonesia, the ITE Law has an indirect article that can be used to handle these cases, article 27 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law states that the dissemination of electronic information violating public decency can be sanctioned. Although the definition of sexting varies in the context of Indonesian law, the ITE Law can be used to deal with sexting behavior.
