The recent era of globalization is characterized by the rapid development of technology. The presence of technology has given a new nuance to human life that touches all aspects of life. The development of technology makes it easy for people to carry out activities to meet their needs and interact with other humans wherever they are. Technology, in addition to bringing benefits such as making it easy for people to carry out their activities, also causes losses. Crime through misuse of information technology is increasing. The type and mode of crime itself continues to develop, among others, the proliferation of lewd acts as livelihoods carried out through information technology. On the other hand, the success rate of disclosure of criminals with information technology is still very low. Therefore, strict and consistent law enforcement is needed to create deterrent effect. The purpose of this study is to analyze law enforcement efforts against perpetrators of criminal acts of lewd and/or others as pimps by taking advantage of female prostitution carried out through internet media, with empirical juridical methods. The result is that there are a number of legislation on the perpetrators of criminal acts of lewd conduct as livelihoods that regulate prostitution activities online, but it must be seen the elements of acts committed by perpetrators of obscene acts as livelihoods so that legal provisions can be applied more precisely against the perpetrator. However, for the legal basis in dealing with the perpetrators, the provisions of Article 296 and Article 506 of the Criminal Code can be used, which specifically regulate crimes committed by a pimp and Article 55 of the Criminal Code which are considered as those who take action or persuade them to do or facilitate actions or facilitate obscene acts with others as livelihoods and habits.
