Officials in Moscow disclosed new details about an alleged assault involving an 11-year-old girl. The incident was reported to the capital department of the Investigative Committee, and the case has been moved into the hands of investigators who are pursuing every lead. According to the investigation, on October 6 the defendant attacked a girl he did not know while he was walking his dog. He then escorted the victim from a playground on Proletarsky Boulevard toward the banks of the Chertanovka River, where the abuse continued for roughly an hour. When the attacker realized that the girl’s father was actively looking for her, he released the victim and fled the scene. The suspect has been identified as a citizen of Kyrgyzstan and is currently held in a pre-trial detention center. He stands accused of sexual assault, and investigators are reviewing whether the man was involved in similar offenses in the Moscow region as part of a broader probe.
Authorities say the case has been assigned to the capital department of the Investigative Committee, and a formal criminal process is underway. The investigation is taking a careful, methodical approach, with prosecutors and investigators gathering statements from the victim and her family, conducting medical and forensic examinations, and reviewing security footage and any nearby witnesses. The suspect’s detention ensures he remains available for questioning while investigators compile evidence and verify timelines. Officials stress that the inquiry is ongoing and that it may expand if findings point to additional incidents in the area or within the wider region. The focus remains on accountability, safety for minors, and ensuring that every aspect of the case is thoroughly scrutinized before any further steps are taken.
Earlier reports described a separate incident in Khabarovsk involving an immigrant taxi driver who confined himself in a car with two female students and would not allow them to leave. The recollection of that case has prompted authorities to review similar patterns and to consider additional preventive measures for vulnerable individuals in urban settings. The two cases together underscore the ongoing vigilance of law enforcement agencies as they work to protect minors and deter offenses of this nature. They also highlight the importance of timely reporting, coordinated investigations, and the use of available resources to identify and prosecute individuals who pose a risk to public safety.
