The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) released a report titled *2023 Crime Statistics*, which details the trends in sexual crimes, including rape and molestation, in Indonesia over the past five years.

The results show that the number of rape and molestation cases in Indonesia fluctuated between 2018 and 2022.

In 2022, the number of rape and molestation cases reached 4,336. This figure represents a consecutive decrease compared to 2021 (5,905 cases) and 2020 (6,872 cases).

Conversely, the number of rape and molestation cases increased in the period before and at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, as shown in the graph above.

The highest number of rape and molestation cases in the last five years occurred in 2020.

Despite a sharp increase in 2020, the number of rape and molestation cases began to decline in 2021, reaching its lowest point in the last five years in 2022.

In 2022, North Sumatra reported the highest number of rape and molestation cases among regional police jurisdictions (Polda), with 453 cases. West Java and East Java followed with 380 and 297 cases respectively.

Conversely, Bangka Belitung Islands recorded the lowest number of rape and molestation cases last year, with only 35 cases. Central Kalimantan and Bali followed with 36 and 38 cases respectively.
