Russian ‘anti-feminist’ blogger Alexey Podnebesny is sentenced to three years for indecent acts with a 15-year-old girl

A Russian anti-feminist blogger, Alexey Podnebesny, has been sentenced to three years in a penal colony for alleged indecent acts with a 15-year-old girl, according to Mediazona. Prosecutors had sought a seven-year sentence. The court ruled that Podnebesny could not be punished for suspected sexual intercourse with the teenager due to the statute of limitations having expired.

Podnebesny, who identified as an "anti-feminist" and created theories about women controlling men through sex, was detained in August 2024. He was accused of having sexual relations with the minor, as evidenced by a video of them kissing posted in his fan group. Podnebesny initially claimed he was unaware of the girl's true age and had hoped to marry her.
