In Surkhandarya, detention as a precautionary measure has been applied to a man who harassed an underage girl. This was reported by the Press Service of the Children's Ombudsman here.
It is noted that on June 3, 2024, B.Sh. (male), born in 1992, took advantage of the absence of anyone at home and performed indecent acts on Sh.M.'s daughter D.A., born in 2014, thereby threatening her sexual inviolability.
Sh.M. appealed to the authorities, stating that her neighbor B.Sh. had threatened to kill her underage daughter if she told anyone about the incident. She mentioned that B.Sh. had entered the woman's house and the actions were recorded on video by her daughter.
