The next day, he again tried to touch the girl's breasts and made «various of requests».

It is noted that for the minor victim, the specified actions were indecent and unacceptable, but since at the time of the criminal act «the victim did not understand the nature and meaning of sexual actions due to her young age, little life and sexual experience, she could not offer conscious resistance to the actions of the convicted person».

During the trial, the man entered into a plea agreement with the prosecutor. He «admitted his guilt in committing the criminal offense provided for in part 2 of Article 156 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and sincerely repented».

The victim and her legal representative gave their consent to the conclusion of the agreement.

The court sentenced him to five years of imprisonment. But released from serving the sentence with probation for 3 years.

The man was also included in the Unified register of persons convicted of crimes against the sexual freedom and sexual integrity of minors.

We will remind you that in the Kyiv region, the court sentenced a local resident who kidnapped and tried to rape a 4-year-old girl. The man was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
