T The status of all citizens is equal before the law, including criminal military personnel. Soldiers are tried in military courts, which according to the constitution, have judicial powers in Indonesia and are under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Military courts are not only a means of enforcing the law, but also a means of training the military, maintaining the military's image in the eyes of the public. One form of violation of decency that is violated is having sexual intercourse with a woman who is not his legal wife: 1) Do the defendant's actions fulfill the formulation of the criminal elements of Article 281 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code? And 2) Are the legal considerations based on the panel of judges in accordance with applicable legal provisions? In this case, the Panel of Judges determined Article 281 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code, however, imprisonment was not in accordance with what was stipulated in Article 281 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code and as the defendant's actions could tarnish the good name of the military's image so that he deserved an additional penalty in the form of dismissal.
