However, when the girl got into the car, Novoselov headed in the other direction. At the request of the victim to stop, he parked the car near the Novobutakovo public transport stop, but did not let the student go far. Against her will, the MMA fighter led the girl into a covered elevated pedestrian crossing, hit her in the stomach and committed sexual acts, and then raped her.
The defendant was detained on March 27. The prosecution requested that Novoselov be sentenced to six years in prison. Novoselov was previously convicted, his crime was recognized as a relapse. The defendant himself denies his guilt. The defense plans to appeal the verdict.
