A 15-year-old girl was beaten with a wooden stick by a 31-year-old man who forced her to prostitute herself secretly. The case was only discovered a day ago, after the home where the child was placed saw that her entire body was blue after the beating. The girl was beaten because she refused her abuser to prostitute herself for him.
31-year-old Yumer, nicknamed Euroto, is from the Gorno-Oryahovo village of Varbitsa. He was detained for pimping, inducing prostitution and brutally beating a 15-year-old child without parents.
„She had many bruises on her body. Fingerprints. Quite beaten. Quite beaten”, said Dr. Borislav Genchev, a forensic doctor and expert in certification. This is the conclusion of the doctors after the incident at the beginning of the week. The 15-year-old girl complained to the Family-Type Accommodation Center that she was forced to secretly prostitute herself, and after refusing – brutally beaten with wooden rods.
“On Tuesday morning we found out that she had suffered violence and took action – we notified the “Child Protection“ department, the police. We took her to a doctor”, said Slavka Shilkova, director of the Family-Type Accommodation Center.
“I performed a certification. That is, this is a girl who suffered physical injuries and was beaten by a man”, claims the forensic doctor Dr. Genchev.
The man was arrested on Thursday and has been in custody for 72 hours. He has been rehabilitated and has a clean criminal record, but now he has been charged with a serious crime. “Pimping with underage girls and using threats. He will probably plead guilty”, said the lawyer of the detained Decho Dechev.
It is still unclear how he contacted the girl and took her out of the house to prostitute herself.
“I didn't expect it. This is the first time something like this has happened. She is one of the meek children”, claims the director of the Family-type Accommodation Center.
We are not disclosing the city and location of the family-type center where the girl lived, due to the sensitive topic. And the child has already been moved to another settlement. “She is placed in a crisis center”, emphasized Shilkova. A social worker explained that the girl “is at risk”. The child is at risk because she tried to break free from the pimp's grip, but was punished by him.
”The bad thing is that he really beat him seriously, but he caused him minor bodily injury and it was not fatal injury”, claims lawyer Dechev.
After being examined by a doctor, the 15-year-old girl was questioned before a judge. The home she was in is a free regime, but there was still a curfew. It is yet to be clarified how Yumer Euroto got to her and how long she had been a prostitute.
