The deputy of the Duma of the Stavropol Territory, the journalist and blogger Anton Dubrovsky, accused of raping a 17-year-old gymnast and currently contained in custody, distributed an open letter through his lawyers, Daily Stavropol reports. The publication emphasizes that he does not doubt the authenticity of this appeal.
"A disgusting crime, thanks to the efforts of the yellow press and the provocateurs of all stripes over a matter of hours, was overgrown with terrible details. I was called a pedophile, rapist, attributed to me monstrous sins and misconduct. The next day I went to the hospital, in intensive care with a heart attack. The investigation, by that time, already opened a criminal case and knowing where I am, announced, announced, announced. I was gaining momentum on a lying and abominations around me and on September 5, I was detained right on a hospital bed, and on September 9, I was moved to a pre -trial detention center, where I am still, ”says Dubrovsky.
According to the investigation, in August of this year, Dubrovsky met on social networks with a young girl. Introducing himself with a modeling agent, the deputy lured her to his rented apartment, there he photographed a minor gymnast several times naked, law enforcement officers say. After that, the deputy allegedly forced her to sexual acts, threatening to post piquant pictures on the Internet. A little later, in the investigation, they announced: the deputy not only forced the girl - he allegedly still managed to rape her.
According to Dubrovsky, as soon as he stated the media that he had false accusations, the investigation "shut up his mouth" and accused him of seduction, "finally smearing a good name."
The deputy claims that prosecutors and investigators have evidence that he did not commit any crime. Dubrovsky also insists that the crime incriminated to him is the fruit of the fantasy of the girl called the victim.
“Despite the fact that I was and I am in the investigative isolator , without the opportunity to justify myself, without the right of a word, without communication with relatives and friends, with the help of my lawyers I was able to submit documentary evidence that the crimes that I have been accused were not committed,” Dubrovsky emphasized.
The deputy turned to journalists and bloggers, since they "have the power of the word", as well as to the deputies, since they "have the right to requests to the regional and general prosecutor's office," and urged them not to stay away. “My correctness is confirmed by material evidence. They completely refute the lies of the“ victim ”. But I am in prison, and they didn’t remove a single accusation from me in 20 days. And she was free, and in 20 days a criminal case was not even opened,” Dubrovsky was indignant.
