A court has recognized the evidence gathered by Vladimir Region investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee sufficient to convict a resident of the village of Nikologory, Vyazniki District 57-year-old Sergey Nikologorsky. He was found guilty of a crime under paragraph “b” of part 4 of article 132 of the RF Penal Code (sexual abuse of minors).
The court and investigators have found that Nikologorsky, having special education in psychology and education, using age-related special features of small and minor girls, not capable of critical evaluation of life situations and relationships between people, involved them in communication for a long time.
He posted ads in media inviting minors to be engaged in poetic and chess classes “to raise virtuous and proper maidens”.
The man called himself an Orthodox poet and the girls – fairies, whom he seduce with money, beautiful clothes, presents and treats and disguised his perverse sexual inclinations as a game.
During the investigation opened following the analysis of information posted on the Internet, including blogs, three girls aged 11, 12 and 13 were recognized victims, whom the accused sexually abused multiple times during 2011.
A commission of specialists after a sexual, psychological and psychiatric evaluation found the man sane, but in need of in-patient compulsory psychiatric treatment due to a personality disorder and multiple sexual disorders, including pedophilia.
It should be noted, that he had demonstrated his pathological state before, in mid-80s, when writing a paper on “gender psychology” he had used inadequate forms and methods of communication with children involving them as objects of his studies.
The residence of the accused was searched and the investigators confiscated objects, confirming the man’s perverse inclinations.
The investigators did a lot of work to gather and consolidate the evidence, questioned over 50 witnesses, ran about 10 complex expert examinations, reviewed over 200 pictures and videos and electronic files.
The court has sentenced Nikologorsky to 12.5 years to be served in a maximum-security penal colony and further restraint for 1.5 year. In addition, the court ruled to force the defendant to be watched and treated by a psychiatrist.
