The world's technological development is very fast, especially smartphones with a variety of functions and applications, including instant messaging like MiChat in Indonesia. MiChat offers features like “People Nearby”, “Chat Trends”, “Moments”, and “Message Tree” for an interactive chat experience. However, these advances have also triggered negative impacts such as online prostitution. The research aims to find digital evidence of online prostitution in MiChat using the method of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) which includes Identification, Collection, Examination, Analysis, and Reporting. The identification involves devices such as MOBILedit Forensics Express, Autopsy, and Systools SQLite Viewer. The results of this research found 1 image of transfer evidence, recovered 19 deleted conversation texts, and found 2 perpetrator contacts through user ID number analysis using Systools SQLite Viewer. It is hoped that in the future this research can be used as a reference for investigating online prostitution cases for other researchers in the future.
