Pedophile who fought for Putin rapes two girls aged 10 and 12 after threatening to blow them up with a grenade the day after returning from Ukraine

A 42-year-old soldier who fought for Putin in Ukraine raped two schoolgirls the day after he returned home from military service, police say.
The suspected pedophile threatened girls aged ten and twelve that he would blow them up with a grenade unless they submitted to him.
Wearing the uniform of Wagner’s “prisoners” army, he approached them near their school in Novosibirsk and forced them behind garages where he sexually assaulted them.
The girls told their parents about the alleged rapes, saying the man was wearing military gear and a badge matching Wagner’s private military company – with a skull.
The alleged rapist – named only Sergei – was seen on video as he was taken to his interrogation in handcuffs.

He confessed and told police where he had taken the girls, police say.
Many Wagner recruits were convicts released from prisons across Russia to fight in Ukraine.
After six months at the front, Vladimir Putin promised them pardon and freedom.
The suspect now faces between 15 and 20 years in prison if convicted.
He was held for two months pending further investigation.
Critics of Putin’s clearing of prisons to send manpower to the war front have predicted a crime boom when large numbers of convicts are pardoned.
Those sent to fight include murderers and rapists.
“Their minds will be further distorted by this appalling violence and killings at the front,” said one critic.
