According to investigators and the cybercrime unit, the incidents occurred in September 2021 when a resident of St. Petersburg engaged in open acts with a child and used a camera to document what was taking place. The material was subsequently uploaded to the internet, exposing the girl while she was below the age of 12. The cybercrime bureau promptly alerted local law enforcement to the offensive behavior, initiating probes that sought to determine the extent of the suspect’s actions and the method by which the material circulated online.

Law enforcement officers conducted a search of the man’s residence and seized electronic devices to establish a clear record of possession and distribution. Forensic examination revealed a substantial collection of underage photographs and videos, confirming ongoing access to explicit content at the time of the incident. The seizure included the man’s mobile phone and laptop, which became central pieces of the evidentiary puzzle necessary to advance the case. [Fontanka]
Subsequently, criminal proceedings were opened against the individual, with records indicating a prior lawsuit related to rape and assault. The legal actions reflect a pattern of criminal behavior that the authorities sought to address through formal charges and ongoing judicial review. The case underscores the persistence of such offenses and the system’s commitment to pursuing accountability for the protection of minors. [Fontanka]
A separate report from Dagestan mentions a different but related thread in the broader network of sexual exploitation cases, noting that a groom allegedly received over 600,000 rubles in exchange for not publishing obscene photographs on social media. This detail illustrates the wider scope of manipulation and illicit activity that can accompany online imagery involving minors. [Fontanka]
