ArmInfo. Sitting of the court on the case of a pedophile from
Nubarashen Boarding School N11 Levon Avaqyan, accused of sexual
harassment, has been postponed for May 12. This time, a corresponding
petition was filed by a lawyer Tigran Hayrapetyan who represents
the interests of the aggrieved person Hasmik Sinanyan. According to
him, despite the forwarded request, the court did not provide the
aggrieved persons H. Sinanyan and Diana Hayrapetyan with copies of
the case materials. Moreover, their representatives were told of the
necessity to pay a state tax of 100,000 drams to get the copies, that
was unacceptable for the aggrieved persons' representatives. Having
heard T. Hayrapetyan's arguments, judge Artur Gabrielyan resolved to
grant the petition and postpone the hearing for May 12.
To recall, On Nov 13 2008 the Armenian Public Television program
"Haylur" reported of sexual abuse of certain D.A., a pupil of the
Nubarashen special school No.11, by her teacher Levon Avagyan. After
the report, the Erebuni Investigation Department accused Mariam
Sukhudyan, participant in the monitoring of the given school, the
well-known activist of the green Movement, instead of the actual
guilty party. She was charged with Article 135 part 1 of the Criminal
Code of Armenia (slander), then with Article 333 part 2 point 3 (false
denunciation for illicit gain) and then again with Article 135. Later,
the Yerevan Investigation Department of the Chief Intelligence
Department of the Armenian Police revealed that the Erebuni Community
Department made its own interpretation of all the proofs. A criminal
case on the facts of sexual abuse of minors has been initiated. The
trial against L. Avagyan (Article 142 part 2) was postponed till May 4.
