Law enforcers were able to detain a suspect in an attack on a schoolgirl in an elevator “in hot pursuit” in Moscow. This was announced on Friday, November 26, by lawyer and attorney Evgeny Korchago.
“Detention in hot pursuit of a criminal is always positive. Firstly, it helps to ensure that he does not commit new crimes. Well, the evidence base during the arrest “in hot pursuit”, as a rule, is more convincing. It is usually much easier to get a conviction, ”he said. REN TV…
Korchago also commented on the circumstances of the transfer of the accused Dmitry Grushnov from a strict regime colony to forced labor in the Moscow region.
He noted that the circumstances when making decisions on parole or replacing the unserved part of the sentence with correctional labor should be checked more thoroughly.
“In fact, in our country, the law provides for sufficient punishment for the commission of sexual crimes, including against minors. It’s especially tough. There is part 5 of Article 131 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for punishment up to life imprisonment for persons who have a criminal record for committing crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors, ”explained the lawyer Korchago.
According to preliminary data, on November 21, a man walked into the entrance of a house in Moscow after a schoolgirl. In the elevator, he grabbed her, took her into the staircase and harassed her. The suspect was detained for a day.
The Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow issued an order on the arrest of Grushnov. He will be awaiting the trial in the pre-trial detention center.
As the journalists found out, Grushnov was repeatedly detained for attempted rape and harassment of minors. Moreover, the recidivist did not complete his final term. The court changed his punishment in the form of 4 years in a strict regime colony to forced labor in the Moscow region.
As Grushnova’s sister said, relations with him soured when he was charged with attempted rape of a minor girl in 2002. She clarified that he was expelled from the school from the eighth grade, and the man was imprisoned at the age of 20.
