Employees of the second department of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department detained 56-year-old US citizen Evgeniy Gro

Employees of the second department of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department detained 56-year-old US citizen Evgeniy Grosman. According to operatives, during his stay in Moscow he had sexual contact with about a hundred Russian boys. For this, he faces a three-year prison term in Russia and a thirty-year sentence overseas.
A graduate of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University, Yevgeniy Grosman emigrated from the USSR in the late 1970s. In the USA he worked as a translator, and in 1988, having received American citizenship, he settled in the suburbs of Chicago. In the mid-1990s, Evgeny Grosman began to come to Moscow, where he became close friends with Dmitry Kuznetsov, Andrei Minaev and Dmitry Ivanov - the authors of hundreds of porn films in which minors participated. When the porn dealers were detained last year (only Ivanov was sentenced to ten years in this case, the rest were released under an amnesty), Grosman also came to the attention of law enforcement agencies. But then it was not possible to bring him to justice - the American managed to leave the country.
Evgeniy Grosman appeared in Moscow again a year ago as a translator for one of the British computer software companies. In the capital, he settled in the apartment of the mother of the convicted Dmitry Ivanov. The woman, as investigators say, knew what her tenant was doing, but preferred to turn a blind eye to it. While living in Moscow, Grosman, according to detectives, had connections with about a hundred boys from disadvantaged families. The pedophile met them on the street or train stations, and then went to one of the private saunas. There he introduced himself as a father who came to give his son a bath. For one "wash" the boys received from the pedophile from 100 to 400 rubles.
Yevgeny Grosman was detained last Sunday after one of the victims testified against him. The suspected pedophile was not surprised by the arrest: he asked to call the American consulate and give him the codes - Criminal and Procedural - and time to think. Having familiarized himself with the articles under which he could be charged, Grosman refused to testify. To the consulate representatives who came to him with US Customs Service officers, Grosman stated that he had sexual contact only with boys over 14 years old, and this is not within the jurisdiction of Russia. “But we have jurisdiction,” the customs officers responded and, after reading Evgeniy Grosman his rights, they charged him with crossing the US border for the purpose of engaging in sexual contact with minors. If in Russia they give no more than three years for such crimes, then in the USA - up to 30 years. Grosman, in his defense, stated that every child has the right to love. “Juliet was born when her mother was not even 14 years old,” he recalled from the classics. “That’s for sure,” the detectives supported him. “There is no sadder story in the world.”
