description Background: Cases of cyber sexual harassment are increasing, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.  SAFEnet data showed cases of online sexual harassment and in 2020 increased by 40%, namely 659 cases. Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the relationship between anonymity and Twitter users' desire to commit cyber sexual harassment and test the Deindividuation theory. Methods: The population in this study were Twitter users aged 16-54 years. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula with a sample of 280 respondents, who were selected randomly. Data collection through questionnaire distribution, using the Sexual Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ) scale. Results: Through data analysis with SPSS 25.0, it was found that the Pearson Product Moment correlation value between anonymity and Cyber Sexual Harassment (CSH) was (r) 0.749 > r_table 0.113. Conclusion: The research shows that there is a relationship between anonymity and Twitter users' willingness to commit cyber sexual harassment, with a positive relationship direction. The lower the anonymity, the lower the desire to commit CSH, and vice versa.  Abstrak Latar Belakang: Kasus pelecehan seksual siber meningkat terkhusus di masa pandemi Covid-19.  Data SAFEnet menunjukkan kasus pelecehan seksual secara online dan pada tahun 2020 meningkat 40%, yakni 659 Kasus.
