Earlier, it was reported that a 37-year-old man in the Andijan region offered his neighbor's 13-year-old daughter sex for money, while his wife acted as an intermediary. When the case was considered in court, the man was sentenced to 5 days in prison, and his wife was fined 750,000 sums. The Court of Appeals did not change the decision either. Now, a protest has been filed against these decisions of the district and regional courts in the investigative procedure. This was reported by the Prosecutor General's Office.

It is reported that the legality of the court decisions issued in the administrative case related to the incident in Andijan has been studied. Based on the results of the investigation, the Prosecutor General's Office has filed a protest in the investigative procedure against the decisions of the Asaka District Court for Criminal Cases dated December 10, 2024, and the Andijan Regional Court of Appeal dated December 23.

What happened to her?

The case was heard in court in November 2024. According to the defendant's testimony, B.O., born in 1987, could not satisfy his sexual needs with his wife and told him that his neighbor would bring M., born in 2011. However, according to him, he fell asleep and did not remember what happened next.

The minor M. told the court that on that day her neighbor brought her to her house and told her to have sex with her husband. The woman also said that the teenager would be blindfolded so that she would “not see anything and not feel pain,” and offered 50 thousand sums for this. When the girl refused, a man intervened in the conversation and offered to pay her 100 thousand sums if she agreed. The girl got scared and ran away.

The mother of the minor told the court that her daughters M. and R. called her and said that M. had been taken to her house by a neighbor man to satisfy his sexual needs. She added that there was no physical injury or violence, but she asked for the complaint to be satisfied. In her opinion, the actions of the man and his wife may contain signs of a crime. Therefore, the mother asked to cancel the decision of the court of first instance and send the case materials to the prosecutor's office.

The court of first instance found that the actions of B.O. and his wife were correctly qualified under Part 1 of Article 41-1 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility, “Sexual misconduct”. The man was sentenced to 5 days of administrative arrest, and his wife was fined 750 thousand soums in favor of the state.

The Court of Appeal also left the decision on bringing to administrative responsibility unchanged and did not agree with the application on the need to initiate a criminal case. As Dilnoza Yusupova, the press secretary of the Children's Ombudsman, told QALAMPIR.UZ, the Ombudsman for Children's Rights studied the court documents issued in the case, considered them contrary to the interests of the child, and on February 4, 2025, filed a petition with the Prosecutor General's Office to protest the decisions of the first instance and appellate courts.
