A Kyiv children’s coach is suspected of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl.

The Office of the Prosecutor General reported this.

“Under the procedural guidance of juvenile prosecutors from the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office, a 37-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor was notified of suspicion of sexual assault against his 11-year-old student,” the statement reads.

According to the investigation, the 37-year-old professional athlete conducted individual training sessions for children. During one of the sessions, the man was left alone with the child, undressed him, and sexually assaulted him.

“The coach took advantage of the girl’s speech impediment, trusted him, and wouldn’t tell her parents about it,” the Prosecutor General’s Office emphasized.

His actions are classified under Part 4 of Article 153 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (sexual violence committed against a person under fourteen years of age, regardless of their voluntary consent). The suspect faces five to ten years in prison.

“The suspect has been placed under arrest for 60 days, an uncontested measure of restraint,” the statement added.
