The current controversy came to light last week when at least 10 young women went public saying they had being groped by Kirillov's fans in Moscow.
Some claimed that the encounters were filmed by accomplices as the men groped them and asked for sex.
Two Russian MPs then complained to higher authorities before the Investigative Committee opened a case against Kirillov.

German foreign minister pledges continued support for Ukraine in Kyiv visit
German foreign minister Johann Wadephul is visiting Kyiv in a show of continuing support for Ukraine's fight to repel Russia as US-led international peace efforts fail to make progress. Mr Wadephul is due to meet with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha. The German minister said in a statement that Germany will help Ukraine 'continue to defend itself successfully – with modern air defence and other weapons, with humanitarian and economic aid'. Germany has been Ukraine's second-largest military backer after the United States, whose continuing support is in doubt. However, Berlin has baulked at granting Mr Zelensky's request to provide Ukraine with powerful German- and Swedish-made Taurus long-range missiles. This is due to fears that such a move could enrage the Kremlin and end up drawing Nato into Europe's biggest conflict since the Second World War. Instead, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged in May to help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that would be free of any Western-imposed limitations on their use and targets. Mr Wadephul was accompanied on his trip to Kyiv by German defence industry representatives. Russia's invasion shows no sign of letting up. Its grinding war of attrition along the roughly 620-mile front line and long-range strikes on civilian areas of Ukraine have killed thousands of troops and civilians. The Russian effort to capture more Ukrainian territory has been costly in terms of casualties and damaged armour. But Russian President Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and has not budged from his war goals. Mr Putin 'doesn't want negotiations, but (Ukrainian) capitulation', Mr Wadephul said in his statement. Russia launched its biggest combined aerial attack against Ukraine at the weekend, Ukrainian officials said, in its escalating bombing campaign that has further dashed hopes for a breakthrough in peace efforts.

Russia issues WW3 ultimatum to EU and UK amid 'unequivocally hostile' move
Russia has issued an ultimatum to the European Union and Britain to halt all military training for Ukrainian troops as a condition of ending the war. Supplies of arms must also be stopped, said Rodion Miroshnik, special envoy to Vladimir Putin's foreign ministry. The Russian demand came amid signs Donald Trump is ready to impose swingeing sanctions on the Kremlin over its refusal to end the war, reports The Express. The weekend saw the most intense aerial onslaught of the conflict on Ukraine with 537 strikes by Putin's forces, including the downing of an F-16 warplane with the death of pilot F-16 pilot Lt-Col Maksym Ustymenko. NATO warplanes were also scrambled amid a huge Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine. The pilot was posthumously awarded the Hero of Ukraine honour by Volodymyr Zelensky for "defending our people from yet another massive Russian attack". He was "one of our very best" and "losing people like him is deeply painful". Moscow has made clear its aim to kill off the EU's EUMAM mission and Britain's Operation Interflex training for Ukraine, which has drilled tens of thousands of fighters for battle. "The participation or complicity of other countries is a key issue that must be stopped in all forms - including weapons deliveries and the training of Ukrainian militants," said Miroshnik. "All of this amounts to direct complicity in the conflict. Halting these programmes would be a signal of willingness to seek a resolution." He was speaking to pro-Putin news outlet Izvestia, which reported: "Currently, two main Western training initiatives are active - the UK's Operation Interflex and the EU's EUMAM mission." The number trained was put at 130,000. Last week, Zelensky and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer inspected Ukrainian troops undergoing training in Britain. The call was echoed by hardliner Konstantin Kosachev, deputy speaker of the Russian senate, the Federation Council. "Any aid that helps Ukraine continue fighting or preparing terrorist operations clearly does not promote conflict resolution," he said. "It is unequivocally hostile to Russia. That is how we classify it." London and Brussels are not interested in compromise, he claimed. "This is a clear campaign against everything Russian - a full display of militarism. I would also add that it shows a desire to shackle the Kyiv government and Ukrainian citizens into tools for achieving British and, in this case, NATO strategic aims. "Ukrainians no longer have agency. Moscow's dialogue with London and Brussels has been cut off, and the EU and NATO show no intention of resuming it." Britain and the EU were accused of being involved in the deaths of Russian troops. "In practice, they are participating in the killing of our citizens while simultaneously coordinating terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime on Russian territory," said Oleg Karpovich, Vice-Rector of the Diplomatic Academy in Moscow. Russia's goal remained to "demilitarise" Ukraine, even though Russia would remain heavily militarised, he made clear. Moscow spelled out its conditions amid signs that Trump's exasperation with Putin has led to him green lighting legislation from Senator Lindsey Graham to impose tough sanctions on the Kremlin. "For the first time yesterday the president told me... he says, 'it's time to move your bill'," Graham said in an interview with ABC News. On whether Graham expected Trump ultimately to sign the bill, the senator responded: "Yes, I think we're in good shape... But he has a waiver. It's up to him how to impose it."
