Where have the authorities’ investigations been focused – What the minor girl testified
A 3rd person who allegedly accompanied her 12 years old – who was the victim of multiple rapes and prostitution – the authorities are looking for the dates arranged for her by 53-year-old Ilias Michos.
The 12-year-old’s escort, the fisher of customers, the debt collector.. He was named by the minor girl in her first statement on September 17 to the Juvenile Protection Sub-Directorate as the person who accompanied her to the customers’ vehicles. According to the report, the investigations of the authorities have focused on him and they have the most evidence of his identification and arrest. this is a person with name “Michael”.
At least 4 other people between 30-40 years of age, the minor identified as her rapists during their statement to the police of the Juvenile Division, while more than 10 men have been identified by the security investigation as they betrayed their electronic traces in the dark internet chats.
As had revealed on Wednesday, the minor was summoned to GADA in order to give a supplementary statement and to identify through photographs shown to her by the police men who abused her. Security officers went and took the 12-year-old and her 37-year-old mother from the house and took them to GADA.
There, through a series of photographs shown to her, she was asked to identify those who had molested her.
The calm minor – as typical police sources say – after looking at all the photos carefully showed the police her rapists.
In fact, he also gave crucial information about where and how he met them as well as how they came into contact before the appointment. As for their names, he told the police their names, but as expected they did not correspond to reality as they carried out their heinous acts using fake names.
A child psychologist was also present due to her age.
In the meantime, the 12-year-old along with her 5 minor siblings have found temporary “refuge” at the Aglaia Kyriakou children’s home. According to Michalis Giannakos, president of POEDIN who visited the pediatric clinic today, all the medical and nursing staff of the hospital have fallen on them in order to feel warmth and love.
Today they were also visited by their adult sister who, although only 19 years old, has been called to play the role of mother for her remaining 7 siblings.
As it says Mr. Giannakos through skai.gr the staff have embraced these children as if they were their own.
According to information from the APE-MPE in her testimony, the 12-year-old is absolute that the money that the “customers” gave her, which was 50 euros each time, “I went and gave it to him” and never to anyone else, from the family her, “why would they say to me ‘where did you find them?'”.
He is also reported to have said that “at home I didn’t answer the phone. I only played games because I was afraid that my siblings would see something and tell my mom” while she has mentioned that she had the men’s names registered on her mobile phone with women’s names.
The girl seems to have referred to a person who, due to a close professional relationship with Michos, had daily contact with the accused of pimping and rape. This person is expected to be called to testify, as so far his testimony is not included in the case file. The 12-year-old is also reported to have described the basement of his store as the place of her “testimony”, regarding the rapes by Michos. In fact, it seems that the authorities are looking for material from security cameras of both the 53-year-old’s store and the disputed basement, which according to available information, are also in this area.
At the same time, the investigations are also continuing in the part of the case of those who seem to have communicated with the 12-year-old’s profile, a number that reaches 212. The conversations took place through the blindchat application and from them the e-mail and the details of the PayPal card used for the kid’s freak dates. Most of the “prospective customers” seem to have taken down their profiles today, while some of them appear to be refusing the offers that the little girl appears to be making to them, saying that she is still too young.
In his apology, Michos stated that “with the consent” of the child, he had met with him four times in his shop and another time at his home when his wife was absent.
And the other defendant, who is already in prison, Ioannis Sofianidis, admitted that he had been with the 12-year-old girl several times “with the consent” and “instigation” of the victim. He also said that he met the 12-year-old on a dating chat and that the girl went on dates alone with him. He emphasized that he does not know and had never seen Michos. It should be noted that both the 42-year-old and Michos initially appointed the same lawyer who had attended the dissolution of Michos’s marriage with his wife on October 4. Subsequently, both defendants revoked the order to the lawyer in question and appeared before the interrogator without a lawyer.
