A statement from Vyborg Court in St Petersburg said the then 22-year-old teacher was “aware of the unlawful and immoral nature of her actions”. It alleged she committed the acts “for the purpose of satisfying her sexual desire and sexual needs”. The court further alleged she “committed other sexual acts against two victims born in 2013, taking advantage of their helpless state”. The accusations, including alleged oral sex, relate to incidents in April and July last year. Simeonidis denies the allegations. She reportedly claims one of the two boys had a crush on her and fabricated the accusations after she rejected him. The teacher is backed by fellow graduates from the elite Russian State Pedagogical University, where she studied.
