Members of the Gornji Milanovac Ministry of the Interior, by order of the competent prosecutor’s office, will file criminal charges against a 17-year-old from Gornji Milanovac, due to the existence of grounds to suspect that he committed two criminal acts of sexual harassment.

He is suspected of inappropriately touching a thirty-five-year-old woman on the street yesterday, as well as similarly molesting a fifty-six-year-old woman on December 7 of this year.

By the way, in early December, the women of the municipality of Gornji Milanovac were scared because a skinny man with a hood on his head and a dark blue protective mask noticed several attacks.

Marina Ostojic was an eyewitness to one of those attacks that took place on the banks of the Despotovica River.

“I heard moans and screams of women, I ran forward and saw a woman with a blue mouth in a visibly altered state, she could hardly speak. She told me that the attacker came to meet her, grabbed her by the shoulders, and then pushed her from the shore into the tall grass. Fortunately, his screams were heard by a man who lives nearby, and when the attacker saw him, he began to flee. At that time, I also came and helped her, ”said Marina.

After this information appeared on the Facebook group “Milanovčanke”, several other women appeared who had a similar experience, so this is not supposed to be the only example. The whole case was reported to the competent authorities.
