The Prosecutor's Office has sent the criminal case against the person, accused of raping a nine-year girl at the hospital of the city of Budyonnovsk, to the Stavropol Territorial Court.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that at night on April 20, 2011, a nine-year-old girl was abducted from the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Ward of the Budyonnovsk District Hospital by some unknown person and raped. Soon, the suspect was detained.
