Deputy director was sentenced to prison for harassment of a female colleague

The deputy director of a football school in Fergana has been sentenced to a five-day administrative prison term for harassing a female colleague. The court ruling was reviewed by QALAMPIR.UZ.

On November 7, Fergana City Court processed the case against the accused, identified as A.S., under part 1 of Article 41-1 of the Administrative Responsibility Code, which addresses sexual harassment. In September, A.S. allegedly harassed F.O., the deputy director for economic affairs at the football school in Fergana.

Based on the court's decision, A.S. was found guilty and sentenced to five days in administrative detention.

This case follows another recent incident in the Kashkadarya region, where a driver was reported to have molested a female passenger. After taking her to a secluded area, he allegedly took her phone and assaulted her. The victim reported the incident to the police, providing the driver’s car details for further investigation.
