A Yekaterinburg coach had his sentence reduced for sexually abusing a schoolgirl.
The Sverdlovsk Regional Court reduced the sentence of swimming coach Alexander, convicted of corrupting a 14-year-old pupil. This was reported by the court’s press service.
Episodes when the man was not at his workplace were removed from the charges. For this reason the sentence was reduced by two months. Final — 12 years and four months of imprisonment.
Recall that Alexander was detained in May 2024. He was accused in more than 30 episodes of corrupting the girl. A case was opened against him under the article “Violent sexual acts.” All 30 criminal cases will be combined into one — each was opened in relation to a specific episode, writes Ura.Ru.
According to the investigation, the man molested the pupil during 2021–23. The girl was then 12–14 years old. Allegedly, during competitions in various regions of Russia he committed “lewd acts aimed at awakening the schoolgirl’s interest in sexual relations.” The regional Investigative Committee’s press service did not comment on the situation.
