ArmInfo. The Armenian Court of Appeal has started considering
complaints about the too mild sentence against the Nubarashen pedophile
Levon Avagyan. To recall, on 24 May 2010 he was sentenced to 2-year
imprisonment under Article 142 of the Armenian Criminal Code (sexual
harassment against minors).
It was found out during today's court sitting that the lawyer of the
aggrieved Diana Amirkhanyan has filed an appeal without her privity.
Moreover, the judge read out Diana Amirkhanyan's written statement
saying that Amirkhanyan is pleased with the verdict delivered against
Avagyan. For his part, Amirkhanyan's lawyer Avag Lalayan expressed
doubts over the fact that the given statement was made by Amirkhanyan
herself, as she has some problems with spelling and expresses her
thoughts with difficulty.
According to him, 2-3 days ago she and her mother were invited to the
police department, afterwards the relevant statement was submitted
to the court. As regards the appeal, which was not agreed with the
aggrieved person, the lawyer explained that in this matter he was
guided by the conversation he had with Amirkhanyan after the court
sitting, when she expressed her discontent with the too mild verdict.
Taking into consideration the absence of Prosecutor Batikyan and
Levon Avagyan's lawyer Viktoria Kirakosyan from the court sitting,
the court took a decision to put off the sitting.
To remind, 5 pupils of the Nubarashen boarding school N11 were the
aggrieved persons under the given criminal case. At this school Levon
Avagyan taught the Armenian Language and Literature.
