After Sokolovsky’s arrest for allegedly playing Pokémon Go in a Russian church and posting the video online, prosecutors found 17 “incriminating episodes” on his YouTube channel.
The Russian Orthodox Church reportedly said the alleged provocative nature of the video led to Sokolovsky’s prosecution rather than the act of playing Pokémon Go.
BBC reported on Thursday that Sokolovsky said in the video of himself playing Pokémon Go in the church that the risk of arrest was “complete nonsense.”
The blogger reportedly posted a video on August 11, which showed him playing the game inside the Church of All Saints.
