Lyudmyla Kadam and Yevgeniy Yakovlev were both given suspended sentences of 3½ years and 1 ½ years. The sentences were reduced by the judge, and Yakovlev was given one year and three months.

Kadam was sentenced to four years and six months probation after he pleaded guilty to aggravated rape and assault. Kadam was also ordered to carry out 500 hours of community service. He was ordered to register as a sex offender. The sentences were reduced to two years and ten months after the judge ruled that Kadam violated his probation to a certain degree while he was on probation.

A second victim, named only as M.C., came forward on March 11, 2013. It’s unclear why she didn’t come forward before, but the prosecutors said it must have been because she wanted out of the relationship. She admitted having sex with both Kadam and Yakovlev, and it is said that she is still in counseling after the incident to sort out how she feels about the incident and her relationship to the two men.

The two accused men were arrested in the aftermath of the incident and booked into the jail in Vassilievsk. Following their arrest, they claim that their innocence. Kadam has denied the incident ever happened. The Vadim news agency quoted one of the two men as saying, “We were innocent, we just wanted to do something romantic with a girl… In some countries, you need to marry, in Russia you aren’t able to do that. I’m not going to lie. We were naive about the situation.”
