Raped a 11-year-old ward and distributed the video online: in Dnipro the leader of an art club was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment
Juvenile prosecutors of the Right-Bank District Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Dnipro proved in court the guilt of a 56-year-old resident of Dnipro in the rape of a 11-year-old child and the dissemination of materials containing child pornography (part 4 of Art. 152, part 4, part 5 of Art. 301 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
It was established that in July 2019 the man, working as a music director at a children’s camp, repeatedly committed sexual acts against his 11-year-old charge.
He recorded his criminal actions on video, which he later distributed via the Internet.
To conceal the crime, the defendant exerted psychological pressure on the child and threatened her, which is why the girl did not report what had happened for a long time.
In December 2019 law enforcement officers discovered one of the videos featuring the victim on the Internet that contained child pornography, after which the man was exposed and detained.
During the trial the defendant did not admit guilt. However, the court agreed with the prosecution’s arguments and sentenced him to 12 years of imprisonment.
The verdict has come into legal force. Information about the convicted person will be entered in the Unified Registry of Persons Convicted of Crimes Against Sexual Freedom and Sexual Integrity of a Minor.
