An indictment has been officially issued under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan:

"Attempts by any individuals to spread unfounded, defamatory, or misleading information on social media will not help the perpetrator escape liability for a crime committed against a minor. Punishment is inevitable. The Surkhandarya Provincial Prosecutor's Office reiterates that interfering in an investigation or judicial proceeding carries strict criminal liability," the prosecutor's office press service stated.
According to reports from the "Negativ kanali" Telegram channel, A.R. allegedly took a 14-year-old girl into his office and sexually assaulted her.
This incident follows a separate recent report from the Andijan province, where a juvenile social-legal assistance inspector is suspected of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl.
