According to the indictment, the incident began on the night of June 9, 2025, when the officer responded to a call at the apartment of the woman, identified by Cursorinfo as a tourist from Kazakhstan. Cursorinfo reported that the call concerned a woman allegedly throwing items from her balcony. Despite having no legal grounds, the officer handcuffed the woman and took her to the station, where she was held for several hours without interrogation. Before releasing her, the officer gave her his personal phone number to initiate a sexual relationship.

Following her release, the officer followed her home on his scooter while on duty. He visited her apartment on three separate occasions, sometimes during work hours, and engaged in sexual intercourse with her during one visit. Later, when the woman asked for help recovering a debt from an acquaintance, the officer allegedly implied he would only assist in exchange for further sexual relations, leaving angrily when she refused. He is also accused of using his position to illegally access confidential police data about the arrest of her acquaintance and sharing the details with her.
