A criminal investigation has been completed against a man accused of stealing a mobile phone and raping a friend in Noyabrsk. The indictment and all case materials have been forwarded to the court for review. This update comes from the investigative department of SU SK for Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, which oversees high-profile criminal cases in the region.
According to investigators, on the night of March 2, 2023, residents of Noyabrsk invited two men they had met through social networks to come to their apartment. The invitation led to an evening where alcohol was consumed and conversations filled the room with casual chatter and growing tension. At some point during the gathering, a 34-year-old participant allegedly took the victim’s mobile phone from her without consent. In the course of the incident, the assailant is said to have assaulted the victim and subjected her to sexual violence, including rape, under circumstances that left her shaken and physically harmed.
As a result of the investigation, the suspect was detained and charged under several provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The charges include theft with serious harm to a citizen (paragraph “c” of Part 2 of Art. 158), violent sexual acts (part 1 of Art. 132), and rape (part 1 of Art. 131). The criminal procedure has proceeded in accordance with these statutory norms, with investigators compiling evidence and establishing the sequence of events to determine accountability for the alleged crimes.
During the inquiry, investigators examined a broad range of circumstances surrounding the incident. They collected testimonies, evaluated forensic findings, and reconstructed the sequence of actions leading up to and following the alleged offenses. The aim was to ensure a thorough and fair assessment of responsibility under the law. After reviewing the gathered evidence and ensuring legal procedure, the criminal case, accompanied by the indictment, was submitted to the court for consideration and adjudication.
