Man suspected of 20 sexual offences against 14 underage girls

The State Police has announced that it has completed an investigation and forwarded a criminal case to prosecutors against a man suspected of committing sexual offences against multiple minors.

According to police, the man is charged with a total of 20 separate criminal offences directed against 14 underage girls. Police state that the suspect allegedly approached and communicated with the victims using the popular social media app "Snapchat". Since the number of offences exceeds the number of victims, it is possible that some of the girls were targeted more than once.

The criminal case is now in the hands of the prosecutor's office, which must decide on the next procedural steps, including a possible indictment and referral of the case to court. Police have not disclosed further details about the suspect, the victims' ages, or the circumstances in which the offences were allegedly committed, citing the interests of the investigation and the protection of the minor victims.

The case highlights the risks associated with children's and teenagers' communication on social networks, where adults can conceal their true identity or intentions.

The case is currently at the criminal proceedings stage, and under the law the man is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
