Russian police chief’s son accused of raping sleeping woman during livestream

Source: Meduza

The son of a district police precinct chief in Yakutsk invited a young woman to his home, got her drunk, and raped her while she slept — streaming the assault live on Bigo Live and collecting donations from viewers.

The regional news outlet SakhaDay was among the first to report on the incident. According to SakhaDay, the assault took place in December 2025, though 14.ru gives a different date — March 2026. 14.ru described what happened during the stream, a recording of which surfaced online.

The police officer’s son knew the woman was drunk and asleep. Commenters in the stream egged him on, warning that if she woke up, the fun would be over. The stream drew more than 9,000 likes, and some viewers sent the streamer donations.

After the assault, the woman told her older brother, who is fighting in Russia’s war against Ukraine. He asked his friends for help. They contacted the police officer’s son posing as another woman, lured him to a meeting, and forced him to apologize on camera.

After the apology video was recorded, one of the brother’s friends demanded 10,000 rubles from the streamer to keep the matter quiet. In response, SakhaDay reported, the streamer filed a police report alleging extortion. Police confirmed they received the report on March 26. When the brother’s friends learned of the complaint, they posted the stream recording and the apology video online, 14.ru reported.

14.ru published a clip from the apology video. The men in the recording appear to be speaking Yakut. From the clip, it emerged that the streamer’s name is Ayaal, that he is 20 years old, and that he is from Yakutsk. Ayaal admitted to raping an acquaintance. He also said his father is a former investigator who now heads a police precinct, his mother is a retired investigator, and he works for a private security firm.

Ayaal Skryabin, a student at the College of Infrastructure Technologies at North-Eastern Federal University, is the man in question, the outlet Lyudi Baykala reported. His parents are both connected to law enforcement: his father has headed the Interior Ministry precinct for the Ust-Aldansky District of Yakutia since 2018, and his mother previously worked as an investigator at the same precinct.

Skryabin worked for a private security company called Shield and Sword, where his assignments included guarding the main building of North-Eastern Federal University and its dormitories. He practiced boxing and mas-wrestling and was an avid video gamer. One of his Telegram accounts displayed the logos of the Wagner private military company and the neo-Nazi unit Rusich.

A fellow student at North-Eastern Federal University told 14.ru that Skryabin had long been known on campus for his behavior. According to the student, the police officer’s son constantly boasted about his parents, harassed women at work events, and drew complaints from female students — though everything was always resolved quietly.

On one occasion, the student said, Skryabin brought a sex toy to the student union office, showed it to female students, and pestered them about whether they owned one. On one of his streams, he also described masturbating to photos on women’s ID badges while working as a security guard, the source told 14.ru. “If I’m being honest, it feels like something is off with him — like he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth,” the student added.

After the stream and apology video were posted online, Skryabin stopped attending classes. The assaulted woman’s current situation is not known. The press office of the Investigative Committee for Yakutia told journalists that no rape complaint had been filed by her. Law enforcement agencies have also not announced any investigation or inquiry in connection with the media coverage, Lyudi Baykala noted.
