A former Federal Security Service colonel accused of having unlawful sex with two 15-year-old girls was found hanged in a pretrial detention center in Moscow, the tabloid Lifenews.ru reported Thursday, citing a law enforcement source.
The 50-year-old man, who was not identified, was detained on suspicion of convincing the girls to have sex with him in his car July 15, the report said.
The girls, who claimed that they were looking for a rich patron but not a sexual partner, told their parents, who complained to police.
It was unclear Thursday whether the police were treating the death as suicide or murder.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
