Crimean man sentenced to 16 years in a maximum security colony for violence against his 11-year-old stepdaughter

CrimeaPRESS reports:

The evidence collected by the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol was recognized by the court as sufficient to convict a previously convicted 42-year-old resident of the Razdolnensky district. A Crimean citizen was found guilty of several episodes of rape of a minor, coupled with a threat to kill, which resulted in the victim becoming infected with a venereal disease (clause “b”, part 4 of article 131 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

The Razdolnensky Interdistrict Investigation Department and the court established that from June 2022 to February 2023, a man, living in a private household with his cohabitant and her minor daughter, committed crimes of a sexual nature against a child. At the time of the first act, the child was 11 years old. The attacker threatened to kill his stepdaughter if she decided to contact law enforcement agencies. As a result of repeated violence, the schoolgirl was infected with a sexually transmitted disease by her stepfather— reported in Sledkom.

The criminal acts were detected by a vigilant teacher at the educational institution.

By a court verdict, the accused was found guilty of the charged crime and sentenced to 16 years in prison to be served in a maximum security colony with further restriction of freedom for 3 years.

The girl’s mother was deprived of parental rights due to the lack of measures to properly support and raise her daughter; moreover, one of the last episodes of violence against the child was committed while she was in the house.
