Application no. 58737/14 A.P . against Armenia lodged on 19 August 2014

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant, Ms A. P., is an Armenian national who was born in 1997. Between November 2011 and February 2012 the applicant, who has had a mild intellectual disability since birth, was raped and indecently assaulted by A.G., aged 49, who was the head of the village community and also the sports teacher at the village school. On 27 February 2013 the Regional Court, sitting in camera , convicted A.G. of rape and indecent acts committed in respect of a minor and sentenced him to eight years ’ imprisonment. The judicial acts ’ internet database does not contain any information concerning the criminal case. It merely states the number of the case with A.G. ’ s name and is listed as ‘ in camera proceedings ’ . The applicant subsequently brought a civil claim for damages against the State, claiming compensation for non-pecuniary damage suffered as a result of sexual abuse by A.G., head of the village community and school teacher. In her claim the applicant also asked that the case be examined behind closed doors and that no information concerning the proceedings be published in the judicial acts ’ database, including her name, taking into account the nature of the case. The applicant ’ s civil claim was rejected in the final instance by the Court of Cassation on 30 April 2014. The information concerning the applicant ’ s claim, including her full name, was published on the judicial acts ’ internet database.
