In the Samarkand region, a 45-year-old man has been corrupting a 10-year-old niece for almost a year and a half

In one of the districts of the Samarkand region, a 10-year-old girl was abused by her uncle from February 2022 to June 2023. According to the investigation materials, he used force and threats to the baby, showed her his genitals, undressed her and encouraged sexual intercourse, the correspondent reports Podrobno.uz with reference to the data of the project against violence Nemolchi.uz .

A criminal case has been initiated against a man under part 3 of Article 129 (lewd acts against a person under the age of 14, involving the use of violence or threats) of the Criminal Code. This is punishable by imprisonment from 5 to 8 years. At the moment, the man is detained.

Journalists appeal to the Prosecutor General's Office and ask to take this case under control and check all the circumstances. Considering that a man encouraged a baby to have sexual intercourse, his actions can also be qualified under part 4 of Article 119 (satisfaction of sexual needs in an unnatural form in relation to a person under the age of 14) The Criminal Code.

In accordance with paragraph 8 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court on such cases, "satisfaction of sexual needs in an unnatural form should be considered completed, respectively, from the moment of the beginning of actions aimed at satisfying sexual needs provided for by the objective side of the composition of the relevant crime, regardless of their completion and the consequences that have occurred."

Since the girl has been subjected to violence for a long time, she needs at least psychological support. We hope that the state will take care of this.
