A court in Yekaterinburg has delivered its verdict against 20-year-old foreign national Shermuhammad Gulmurodov. He was found guilty of committing violence against a 13-year-old schoolgirl in October 2024. According to investigation details, the incident took place in an abandoned building.
The Kirovsky District Court found the defendant guilty under Article 131 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (rape of a person under the age of 14) and Article 213 (hooliganism). During the trial, the defendant did not admit his guilt, claiming that the incident occurred by mutual consent.
According to the court's decision, Shermuhammad Gulmurodov was sentenced to 12 years and 20 days in a strict-regime penal colony. Additionally, the court ordered the payment of 1 million rubles in moral damages to the victim.
It is worth noting that under Russian law, penalties for serious crimes against minors are severe. This trial serves as a warning to foreign citizens regarding the necessity of complying with local laws and the grave consequences of committing such offenses.
