In Yekaterinburg, the court refused to place the concertmaster accused of pedophilia in pretrial detention.
In Yekaterinburg, a 51-year-old accompanist at a choral school will be tried on charges of pedophilia. Danila K. was detained in May 2025, writes "KP-Yekaterinburg."
The exact number of victims in the criminal case is unknown. The man traveled with children to music competitions. Acquaintances describe Danila as a talented pianist and an unremarkable person.
Despite the serious charges against him (subparagraph "b" of part 4 and subparagraph "b" of part 5 of Article 132 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — "Violent sexual acts committed against two or more minors under the age of 14"), the man is under house arrest, reports "KP-Yekaterinburg."
The Zheleznodorozhny District Court twice denied investigators' requests to remand the defendant in custody. That decision was upheld on appeal by the Sverdlovsk Regional Court.
The accompanist's case will be heard by the regional court in a closed session.
