In accordance with the amendments, life imprisonment will be threatened for repeated sexual abuse of minors, or against two or more minors, or if it was accompanied by the commission of another serious or especially serious crime against a person.

“On the one hand, it is good that this law has finally been adopted.

Because his parents have been waiting for him for many years.

On the other hand, it's bad that you need to wait for the second victim so that nonhumans receive a life sentence.

Given the latency of these crimes, only a small part of them is revealed.

For obvious reasons, of course.

Many children, due to their age, do not understand what is happening to them or are embarrassed, or they are simply intimidated by pedophiles.

And, unfortunately, violence can take years,” Volynets said.

She noted that "pedophilia is a chronic systemic failure of the personality, which, unfortunately, is not treated."

“This is being said by both forensic experts and experts, as well as people who work in the law enforcement system...Therefore, if it has already been discovered that a person is a pedophile who has committed a crime, then the state, which is obliged to ensure the safety of our families and our children, must accept all measures to protect society from such perverts, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier, deputies of the State Duma adopted in the second and third readings amendments to the Criminal Code in terms of strengthening the responsibility for committing crimes against the sexual integrity of minors.
