New shock-testimony in Lignadi Trial: Rape my 17-year-old friend in front of my eyes

by

By depositing a friend of the fourth complainant of rape by Dimitris Lignadis in 2015when the alleged victim was staying at the home of the accused at the age of 17, the trial of the artist continued before the MOD.

The witness claimed in court that he was present at one of the two rapes he complained about that his friend suffered, typically saying that what happened in front of his eyes “It was rape”. In his testimony, he described how the alleged act took place in the house of the former head of the National Theater, in the presence of himself and two other young boys, including the second accuser of the artist.

Dimitris Lignadis’s defense attorney, Alexis Kougias, applied to be called to testify as a journalist on a morning TV show in which the third plaintiff spoke, who has not appeared in court and has now lost the right to represent Civil Action in the present trial. The lawyer justified his request, saying that the journalist should clarify how she came in contact with the man in question. The request was rejected by the court, with a similar suggestion of the prosecutor who stressed that when it was the witness’s turn to testify and he did not appear, he was ordered to be forcibly brought. “I again suggested that he be sought at the previous hearing,” the prosecutor continued. Until, of course, a specific point in time. “

Earlier, the fourth complainant completed his testimony who also referred to the element of psychological violence, other than the physical violence he complains, on the part of the accused: “The psychological pressure was always exerted by the accused, regardless of the acts he suffered,” said the witness, whose allegations on the part of the accused.

The trial is set to begin on May 27.
