Diana Shurygina, who became widely known in Russia in 2017 in connection with a rape case, is suspected of distributing pornographic materials, they wrote. mash and Msk1.
Mash reported that as part of the case, a search was conducted at Shurygina’s place of residence in Moscow. Msk1 found a case file on the website of Moscow courts of general jurisdiction, which talks about DAShlyanina’s research (Shurygina changed her last name after marriage – approx. “Jellyfish”).
The research was conducted as part of a case under Part 3 of Article 242 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Illegal production and circulation of pornographic materials or objects”). Such a charge is punishable by imprisonment for up to six years or a fine of 300,000 to 600,000 rubles.
Mash writes that Shurygina is likely to be detained. The Telegram channel was unable to contact her or her mother.
Svyatoslav Gusev, whom Shurygina dated for some time, told Mash that mutual acquaintances told him that the girl was “in prison.” Gusev indicated that the charges may be related to the publication of an intimate video clip. Msk1 reports that Gusev in May accused Shurygin for stealing expensive equipment and money from his apartment.
Diana Shurygina, who was 16 at the time, accused 21-year-old Sergei Semenov of rape in 2016. He denied any wrongdoing. At the end of 2016, Semenov was sentenced to eight years and three months in a maximum security colony. In January 2017, the sentence was commuted to 3 years and 3 months in prison. At the beginning of 2018, Semenov was released on conditions.
In 2017, Shurygina appeared several times on the TV show “Let Them Talk” and for some time became one of the most discussed personalities in the Russian-language Internet sector. Many doubted Semenov’s guilt, given the circumstances of the case and Shurgina’s behavior in the TV show, which they considered insincere.
In subsequent years, Shurygina married, divorced and started a blog, and also, as the Russian media wrote, an account on the platform.
