Corruption practices have evolved to encompass the provision of sexual services to public officials as a form of gratification. Nevertheless, the Corruption Eradication Law contains no explicit provisions addressing such services, potentially creating legal uncertainty and regulatory gaps. This study seeks to determine the legal status of sexual gratification and examine the evidentiary methods applicable to its prosecution under Indonesia’s positive legal framework. Using normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study finds that sexual services may be classified as gratification through an extensive interpretation of the term “other facilities” in the Explanation to Article 12B of the Corruption Law. The evidentiary process is examined with reference to Article 184 of the Criminal Procedure Code and Article 26A of the Corruption Law, particularly in relation to the application of a balanced reverse burden of proof. This study recommends clarifying the relevant provisions through legislative reform and enhancing law enforcement agencies’ digital forensic capabilities to address the evidentiary challenges associated with this concealed form of corruption.
