A man has joinedVladimir Putin’s armed forces rather than face trial for raping his own mother. The sex crime suspect, who is also a convicted murderer, signed a contract to fight alongside Russian troops inRussia's illegal war againstUkraine.

It means he will not face trial, according to a report by Astra media. His welcoming into Putin's military appears to show how low Russian armed forces will sink to recruit men to fight on the Russian president’s frontline. The suspect, identified only as Konstantin A., was detained in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, in late January on suspicion of raping and abusing his 64-year-old mother.

The media outlet reports his detention fell on the same day his mother was taken to hospital with injuries after the alleged assault and abuse by her son.

It added that after his detention, law enforcement officers allegedly offered Konstantin the opportunity to sign a contract and join war inUkrainein order to avoid criminal punishment.

He signed a written agreement to fight for Putin and avoid justice, the independent outlet reported, citing a family "source" and legal representative.

The suspected rapist had been released from jail after serving more than 13 years for the assault and murder of a woman. On his release he posted a picture online, reading: "I'm celebrating 2026 with my family". Soon afterwards he was accused of assaulting and raping his mother.

The Putin regime is routinely offering detainees facing serious charges the chance to avoid justice by going to fight in the war.
