> St. Petersburg resident Irina alleges that after she reported being raped, an officer at Police Station No. 14 beat and sexually abused her for four to five hours. She says officers also pressed her to reconcile with the man she accused of rape. She later sought treatment in Kamchatka, where doctors diagnosed a closed traumatic brain injury and bruising to her head, and she reported the incident to the Investigative Committee.
