Battle against time in the Forensic Laboratories- Searching for the person behind the name “Michalis” and his role in the prostitution of the child- Who are the three who apologize today
By Makis Synodinos
The threshold of the interrogator which handles the case of rape and sexual exploitation of the 12-year-old girl from Colonos, the three arrested accused of raping the minor for pay will pass today after the deadline they requested and received in order to prepare their apologies.
In a barrage of arrests that began on Friday night and ended on Sunday afternoon, security officers located them and handcuffed them, sending them to face justice.
People from next door and above all suspicion, who have not concerned the authorities in the past are all three who are accused of abusing both the body and the soul of a minor of only 12 years.
The profile of the accused
The first person arrested on Friday night is a 33-year-old, pharmacy employee, single and facing the charge of sexual intercourse with a minor and under 12 consecutive years. The defendant categorically denies the acts attributed to him, while according to information he will claim today before the investigator that he was twice with the 12-year-old but never had sexual contact with her. In fact, according to his lawyer, he is depressedhe does not have the mental capacity to distinguish a 12-year-old from a 17-year-old.
As he testified to the police shortly after his arrest, he booked the dates through chat on an online dating site.
The next day was followed by the arrest of a 36-year-old administrative employee at the Metaxa cancer hospital.
The 36-year-old, who is also unmarried, is facing the charge of sexual intercourse with a minor for pay, while the minor allegedly recognized him through photos shown to her by the police in her second statement last Wednesday. He too allegedly initiated contact with the girl via online dating site chat.
Finally, on Sunday, juvenile police found and handcuffed a 34-year-old man from Pagrati, who is accused of raping the girl at least twice for a fee.
He too is single and runs a family business.
The 34-year-old was allegedly chatting and making appointments with the 12-year-old through the same chat as the rest of the defendants.
Codename “Michael”
Real person or another fake profile he had made Elias Michos in order to make an appointment with the minor?
The authorities are asked to answer this crucial question, as the investigation progresses and new elements of this horrific case come to the fore, anything is possible.
Whatever the name “Mihalis” is, the minor named it in her very first deposition on September 17. As she had said, she has never met “Michalis” but he made her appointments with his friends for money.
Their communication (of “Michalis” and the minor) was only through social network applications, while he had told her that he is under 30 years old, has no family and lives in the southern suburbs.
“Street fight” in the forensic laboratories of ELAS
At the same time, in the forensic laboratories of ELAS, mobile phones and computers that have been confiscated from the defendants are being searched in order to identify crucial elements that will lead to new identifications and new arrest warrants. It is still being investigated whether a brothel on Kassandras Street in Gazi is “hell” that the 12-year-old lived an absolute nightmare at the hands of both Ilias Michos and other men. It is recalled that the 12-year-old claimed in her testimony that Elias Michos took her to a nursing home, where she was raped by five men over the course of half an hour, while in the same testimony she described how the 53-year-old entered with her through the back door, took her to a room and after he raped her, other men would then come and take out their sick appetites on her.
Three are already in prison
So far three people have crossed the threshold of the prisons as they failed to convince the investigator that they are not related to the girl’s rape case.
53-year-old Ilias Michos, who is accused of raping and raping the 12-year-old girl, 42-year-old Yiannis Sofianidis, who is the first “client” handcuffed by the juvenile police and is accused of repeatedly raping her and recently the 37-year-old mother of the little girl who on Monday, after an emotionally charged apology to the investigator, was remanded in custody accused of aggravated pimping at the expense of her daughter.
Yesterday afternoon, speechless with her head bowed, she passed the threshold of the Korydallos women’s prison accompanied by police officers.
