In St. Petersburg, a fitness center employee was detained after authorities investigated allegations of sexual activity with a minor. Fontanka reported that the incident prompted an official inquiry into the conduct of the staff member and the circumstances surrounding the case.
Authorities are examining claims that a 24-year-old swimming coach engaged with a female student in a sexual relationship. In April 2022, investigators learned that a 13-year-old girl from the village of Kalozhitsy in the Volosovsky District of the Leningrad Region became involved with an older adult who took on a guiding role in her life. Fontanka documented that the relationship appeared consensual at the time and later prompted police to review the events surrounding the contact.
The man is accused of initiating a relationship with a person under the age of 16, and authorities say the encounter evolved into a closer bond before cooling off. He was detained on September 4 and remains in custody as the legal process proceeds. The case has drawn attention to safeguarding protections for minors and the responsibilities of adults who work with young people, as reported by Fontanka.
Earlier reports indicated that a foreign national in Tyumen arranged a candid photo session with a local resident and subsequently faced an alleged rape attempt. The ongoing investigations are part of broader examinations into adults exploiting their positions of trust with minors and how such situations are identified and handled by law enforcement and social services.
