❗️ In Khmelnytskyi region, the head of a language school, Viktor Snihurov, is suspected of corrupting pupils
According to an official statement from the Office of the Prosecutor General, a 58-year-old director of a foreign language center, who also worked at the institution as an English teacher, has been notified of suspicion. The man is accused of committing lewd acts against two female students aged 13 and 14 years directly during lessons. According to the investigation materials, the criminal acts against one girl lasted for 2018–2020 years, and against the other — during the period from 2023 to 2025 year.
For a long time the girls hid these facts, fearing public condemnation. They only dared to speak about what they endured after learning that another criminal proceeding against their tutor was already being heard in court — on the charge of intentionally possessing child pornography.
His actions have been qualified under part 1 and part 2 of Article 156 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (corruption of a minor and of a juvenile). Law enforcement agencies continue investigative actions to establish all possible episodes of sexual violence against the pupils and to identify other victims of the center director's actions.
As of now it is already known that today, 4 August, the Khmelnytskyi City District Court imposed on the 58-year-old suspect in the corruption of the minor and juvenile girls a preventive measure in the form of detention without setting bail.

❗️ It is worth noting that I recently published an extensive piece about this case and this pedophile on 30 July 👉. This concerns Viktor Snihurov — about whom local residents asked for help and public exposure in a case that was kept quiet for years at the local level and is truly horrifying in its scope. I clearly stated that the trial was to take place on 4 August 2026 and was to be the first step toward restoring justice.
And now, as we see: law enforcement, the prosecutor's office and the court — have acted as they should in such cases. And it is hardly surprising, since Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko has long established himself as a person, as an official, who treats cases involving crimes against children in a maximally critical and thorough manner within the framework of current legislation.
In addition, the motion to choose a preventive measure in court was supported by the head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor's Office, Anton Kovalskyi, which already gives hope that justice will and must be achieved.
I note that this is by far not my first case in the fight against crimes against children, in the struggle against pedophiles and in ensuring just punishment for such people, or rather animals. Recently, in part thanks to our public exposure — in Odesa region it was also possible to place a suspect in a case of abuse of children into custody without the possibility of bail.
This concerns the 29-year-old resident of the village of Brytivka, Denys Tatenko, born in 1997. According to the investigation, the man for several months gained the trust of an acquaintance's family. Later, under the pretext of giving her 10-year-old son a ride in his car, and later — also his 11-year-old friend, he committed violent sexual acts against the children. Here is 👉 the publication about this.
By the way, both in Khmelnytskyi and in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in Odesa region — attempts were made to hide the cases through dealmaking and possible bribes. However, the local prosecutor's offices under the supervision of the Office of the Prosecutor General, as well as our public exposure — did not allow arbitrariness so that pedophiles could continue to roam Ukrainian towns and villages.
📌 We continue to work. Thank you, my subscribers, Ukrainians who do not stand aside. Thank you to the prosecutor's office and law enforcement officers who respond and stand for upholding justice.
