In the Beysky district of Khakassia, a local resident was found guilty of sexually assaulting a young girl. This information was provided by the press service of the Sayanogorsk court in the republic. The verdict followed a legal process where investigators established the details of the case and the court reviewed the evidence presented at trial, underscoring the seriousness of crimes against minors and the commitment of the justice system to accountability.
According to the investigation, a 32-year-old man abused his cohabitant’s 13-year-old daughter. The case describes the offender as intoxicated at the time of the events. After investigators learned of the incident, a criminal case was opened, and the suspect was detained during the investigation as authorities worked to build a full factual record and ensure the victim’s protection and rights throughout the proceedings.
A court decision sentenced the man to 14 years in a strict-regime prison colony, and ordered him to pay 300,000 rubles as compensation for the moral damages suffered by the victim. This sentencing reflects the court’s assessment of the gravity of the offense and the impact on the young victim, while reinforcing the state’s stance on safeguarding minors within the legal framework.
Earlier in St. Petersburg, an investigation led to the detention of a man accused of assaulting a seventh-grade student in a stairwell. The assailant entered an elevator with a 13-year-old girl, rode to the top floor, and then exited the elevator to carry out the attack. The schoolgirl’s screams drew attention and frightened the attacker, stopping the assault in its tracks and allowing authorities to intervene as the case progressed.
In Crimea, another case involved the abuse of a girl over 11 years of age, illustrating that incidents of this nature span multiple regions and continue to be a focus for law enforcement and the judiciary. These reports collectively highlight ongoing efforts to protect minors and pursue justice across Russia, with authorities emphasizing careful investigation, due process, and appropriate sanctions for those who harm young people.
