Juvenile prosecutors and the head of the Poltava District Prosecutor's Office proved the guilt of a Poltava resident in sexual violence and rape committed against a person under the age of fourteen (Part 4 of Article 153, Part 6 of Article 152 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)
It is noted that in the summer of 2022, the man saw a 13-year-old boy, a child with a disability, on the street. He called the child to the first floor of an abandoned building and committed sexual violence.
In October of the same year, near one of Poltava's hotels, during a patrol, National Guard servicemen saw the offender committing another crime against a child and called an investigative and operational group.
As part of the pre-trial investigation, it was found that the man had repeatedly committed illegal acts against the minor.
