Details loud trial - in the material correspondent NGS.NOVOSTI.
Details of the investigation described in several volumes of the criminal
case 53-year-old Sergei Kropochkina, unpleasant. So that the court was
closed, and the decision is available only in part - its operative part,
where the omitted details of the crimes. Novosibirsk Regional Court
convicted pedophile photographer guilty of 145 episodes of violent crime

court also gave 1 year and 9 months of restriction of freedom (after

"Kropochkina the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation on
VAT.
Victims in the case are 16 girls. The accused in the courtroom said he
did not consider himself guilty of violence and will appeal this part of
the verdict. However, for only one shooting porn with minors he would
have received at least 6 years. Among photographers Novosibirsk 53-year-
old Sergei Kropochkin was virtually unknown, personnel in professional
circles almost boasted - on one of the most popular photosites headings
only managed to find his 5 pictures - three of them young girls. But
their approaches could not hide - to one of the pictures of the autumn
forest on the same site, he even left a comment in the spirit: good
photos, but people in the frame could be replaced by a naked girl or even
a girl ("as a contrast to more trees").
By According to the investigation, filmed child porn and rape schoolgirls
Kropochkin periodically from 2001 to 2003, and from 2010 to the end of
2011. Find evidence that in the interval length in 7 years, he was
engaged in the same investigation failed. In some scenes, the prosecutor
in the case told Felix Kuznetsov Kropochkin shot himself - the same girl,
the prosecutor said, because of their age do not fully understand what is
happening to them, and obediently executes "Uncle Sergei." One of the
girls, starring in his studio in 2001, was only 10 years old.
Circle in child porn buyers knew him as head of the studio "SIBERIAN
MOUSE" - the photographer was producing catalogs of their products.
Buyers found on the internet exclusively abroad, getting them translated
to 100-500 dollars. However, his studio was known in Russia - the names
of "heroines" his "movie" is still mentioned in the forums perverts, and
some people seriously regret that Kropochkina planted.
Officer of the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the MOI of Russia
for VAT Paul Gardeners, led in November 2011, the joint operation with
Interpol to arrest Kropochkina, remembered detained him at 6 pm, when the
photographer came out of the studio in the October district. Operatives
knew that when he himself laptop that stores footage.
"At home, he did not shoot anything, he equipped a studio rented
apartment, summer is also doing this in a rented garage," - said Pavel
Gardeners. Apartments offender sometimes changed - for the conspiracy.
Schoolgirls he found through friends, sounding photographer modeling
agency, paying them fees: from 200 rubles. for a photo in swimsuit 8000
rubles. for shooting in a porno movie. All came to light when the mother
of one of the girls found the daughter of 1000 rubles. elicited and where
they came from. The next day Kropochkina arrested.
If pornography involving children clearly outlawed, the situation with
adult movie starring adult model controversial. Formally, the Criminal
Code prohibits the illicit manufacturing and trafficking of pornography
(Article 242) - but the law says nothing about the conditions under which
it may be legitimate. Moreover - in the law there is no clear delineation
of pornography and erotica, and in each case the brink of experts
determine what is permitted by estimation. "It is assumed that legally -
that for some medical applications, e.g.. But even in the law on
licensing is nothing like that. In practice, any persons who are engaged
in it, may be involved, if the examination by estimation proves that it
[pornography] is, and will prove the fact of distribution "- commented
the lawyer Paul Spring. About blur definitions erotica and pornography
says Novosibirsk assortment of sex shops, which assure that all of their
video products has passed a special examination, completely legal and has
a distribution certificate, which states that it is not pornography.
pornostudii for Novosibirsk is not a novelty, but criminal chronicles are
extremely rare. So, in 2003, was closed studio, starring in porn girls
and boys aged 14 - scenarios fees and money to develop the studio came
from America. In 2013, the prosecutor recalled Felix Kuznetsov, the court
case was transferred to the photographer who shot explicit scenes and
during molested models - girls he sought by filing an unequivocal
announcement in the news ticker on television. Renowned photographer
Eugene Sinyatkin working including nude and erotic, said: pornography
underground market for export in Novosibirsk is not well developed. "If
you take all the shooting, where there is nudity, 90% - is the usual
artistic nudes where everything modest 9.9% - light erotica, where
something is seen, and only one percent customer asks for something"
harder "- said Eugene. Experts' opinions about the moral side of the
profit from trade erotic photos and videos are not so categorical. "I
think it is unethical to offer widely available when this may encounter
people who do not need it. But there are people who need these products
and useful, and to deprive them of this - some kind of discrimination "-
Inna categorical Sosnina sexologist, director of a network of shops
"Casanova". "Any phenomenon, except for those who are intolerant in
principle, should be introduced in any legal framework. And at the moment
there is virtually no framework. Do not gloss over it all, and give it
some kind of legitimacy and order "- sums up Paul Spring.
