According to information posted in the State Register of Judicial Acts, the suspect is J.R.Z. The criminal case was initiated based on Article 160, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, which pertains to "Facilitation of Prostitution and Debauchery."
According to the investigation, R.Z. acted out of mercenary motives, deceiving the parents of her niece, the minor A.A., into allowing her to go to Dubai (UAE). She assured them that she would show the girl the world and the country. After obtaining permission to take the child abroad, on June 11, 2024, R.Z. flew from Manas International Airport in Bishkek to Dubai with A.A.
Upon arrival in Dubai, they were met by R.Z.'s acquaintance named B.M.S., who accommodated them in a hotel. Just two days later, knowing A.A.'s minor age and taking advantage of her vulnerable state, R.Z. repeatedly got the girl drunk with alcoholic beverages.
Subsequently, in collusion with B.M.S., she forced the minor into sexual relations, using physical force and threats. Despite A.A.'s resistance, R.Z. forcibly undressed her and locked her in a room prepared for committing the crime. After that, she left the room.
The investigation established that R.Z. repeatedly created conditions for satisfying the sexual needs of her acquaintance at the expense of her niece, and with the money earned, she purchased an apartment on Ankara Street in Bishkek.
The Karakol City Court chose a measure of restraint in the form of detention for R.Z., which was subsequently extended.
Disagreeing with the court's decision, the lawyer filed an appeal, citing the presumption of innocence and the necessity of presenting irrefutable evidence of guilt. The lawyer also noted R.Z.'s willingness to cooperate with the investigation and the court, pointing out the groundlessness of the charges.
The appeal also mentions that:
— the accused is in her 35th week of pregnancy;
— she has a 5-year-old sick child who needs care.
The defense claims that there are sufficient grounds for applying a milder measure of restraint not related to isolation from society and requests the court to replace detention with house arrest. No objections were received regarding the appeal.
The judicial panel of the Issyk-Kul Regional Court, having assessed the materials and arguments of the appeal, concluded that there were insufficient grounds to grant it.
According to Article 105 of the Criminal Procedure Code, measures of restraint are applied when there are grounds to believe that the accused may evade justice, exert pressure on procedural persons, or destroy evidence. The court took into account that the charges fall into the category of serious crimes and reasonably extended the measure of restraint in the form of detention.
In considering the case, the judicial panel found no grounds for changing the measure of restraint. The ruling of the investigative judge of the Karakol City Court remained in force, and the appeal of lawyer R.P. was dismissed.
On December 23, 2025, the judicial panel of the Issyk-Kul Regional Court confirmed the decision of the first instance court.
