Court in Zhytomyr region releases 60-year-old father of a 14-year-old girl's child from main punishment

Verdict for relations with a minor

The trial of a criminal case involving a 60-year-old man has concluded in the Zhytomyr region. He was charged with establishing a relationship with a 14-year-old girl, resulting in her giving birth to a child.

Circumstances that mitigated the verdict

During the hearing, the defendant admitted his guilt. He also transferred 5,000 hryvnia to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These circumstances, along with the victim's position, in which she asked the court not to impose severe punishment on the man, were decisive.

Currently, the couple is raising their joint daughter together. Taking all factors into account, the court ruled to release the 60-year-old man from serving the main punishment.
