In Yekaterinburg, authorities described a grave incident in the early hours where a migrant first tried to rape a local resident who resisted, and then attacked her six-year-old daughter. The events unfolded inside a hostel on Nadezhdinskaya Street and prompted a swift police response as investigators began to reconstruct the sequence of actions. The case has sparked discussions about safety in shared accommodations and the presence of migrants within the city, with officials committing to pursuing every lead to clarify what happened and who was involved.
According to the account, the victims and the suspect lived in the same hostel on Nadezhdinskaya Street. In the early hours at the end of October, a woman woke to find someone lying on top of her. The man, described as intoxicated, began kissing her neck and touching her hips. She fought back, pushed him away, and escaped to a safer space. The disturbance alarmed other residents and drew immediate attention from staff. Police were contacted promptly, and officers worked to identify the assailant and secure the scene for a formal investigation.
That same night, investigators state, the man raped the victim’s six-year-old daughter. The mother reported the assault, and law enforcement detained the suspect. It later emerged that the individual is a 37-year-old citizen of Uzbekistan who was living illegally in Russia. A criminal case was opened against the immigrant under the articles of acts of sexual violence and preparation for crime and attempted crime. The case has been assigned to investigators focusing on protection of minors and violent crime, with prosecutors reviewing the evidence and considering additional charges as more facts come to light.
Officials emphasize that acts of sexual violence, especially those involving a child, carry severe penalties under the law. The investigation continues to determine the full scope of the suspect’s actions, identify any possible accomplices, and assess hostel safety to prevent a recurrence. Local authorities pledge to pursue the matter vigorously, assist victims, and ensure appropriate legal recourse, while reminding residents of available resources for reporting crimes and seeking protection.
Earlier reports described another incident involving a Russian national who allegedly seduced teenagers, brought them to his home, got them drunk, and raped one of them.
