The method used in this research is by way of literature study and qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the research, the researcher found the factors causing the crime of sexual violence, namely internal factors and external factors. In addition, the psychological impact arising from sexual violence is also very large, namely traumatic feelings to PTSD, psychological illness with fear disturbances to an extreme sense of helplessness. The psychological impact arising from sexual violence must be immediately detected and given appropriate treatment so as not to interfere with the child's development process in the future.
