The development of digital technology and the widespread use of social media among students have increased the risk of cybercrime, one of which is sextortion. Sextortion is a form of sexual extortion carried out through threats to distribute a victim’s private or intimate content. This article aims to analyze the legal protection available for students against sextortion and the importance of legal awareness programs as a preventive measure. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches through library research. The findings indicate that legal protection for sextortion victims has been regulated in various laws and regulations; however, its implementation still faces challenges due to low levels of digital literacy and limited student awareness regarding the dangers of sextortion. The dissemination of legal protection knowledge plays an important role in increasing students’ awareness, encouraging responsible use of digital media, and helping them understand the legal remedies available when they become victims. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration among schools, families, and the government in strengthening legal education and digital literacy to create a safe digital environment for students.
