A Serious Case of Sexual Violence Involving a Convicted Felon in Tatarstan
Two months after being released from prison, a man with a prior conviction for rape was detained in Tatarstan. The incident was reported through the local portal chelny-biz.ru, which cited the Naberezhnye Chelny City Court in its coverage.
Investigators state that the 38-year-old man, originally from Bashkiria, carried out the crime against a minor on September 2. He approached girls who happened to be near the entrance to his house and attempted to lure them with harmless-seeming offers. He tried to entice several female students with treats, hoping to gain their trust. One girl agreed to meet him, while another witnessed the interaction and followed the stranger to ensure the first girl’s safety.
The assailant escorted the girl toward her home, where the violence escalated. He assaulted and harassed the victim and subsequently expelled her onto the street after the attack. It is known that the suspect had already been convicted of a serious crime before his most recent release, and he had settled into a rented apartment without holding any formal employment.

If found guilty on all counts, he could receive a prison sentence that ranges from 12 to 20 years, depending on the specifics of the case and the findings of the court.

The investigation continues to determine the full extent of the suspect’s actions and any other victims who may have been affected. Source: Naberezhnye Chelny City Court.
