“He called me and told me everything. When I ran away from work, I asked him not to call an ambulance, because I knew very well that he would be accused of violence. But Sergey himself called the doctors, ”she said.

As noted by Anna Kukushkina's wife, medical examination recorded superficial injuries, but not penetration.

In 2019, 27-year-old Sergei Kukushkin was suspected of sexual violence: his daughter was hospitalized with genital injuries.

The court passed a acquittal. But the city prosecutor's office appealed against this decision. 

The suspect himself stated that he did not use violence against his daughter, but simply wanted to change her diaper and accidentally injured the child. In addition, he said that because of a quarrel with his wife, "freaked out." The wife in court defended her husband.

The prosecutor's office of Tatarstan noted that they did not agree with the court decision.

“There was a lot of evidence that the defendant acted with direct intent. This is the testimony of both the mother of the child and the ambulance paramedic who came to call the injured girl, and finally, the testimony of the accused himself, ”the department said.

They pointed out that at the trial a medical expert confirmed that injuries inflicted on a child cannot be accidentally received.
