The trial of theatrical director and actor Dimitris Lignadis for rape cases of minors and adult men attributed to him was determined before the Mixed Jury Court on February 11, 2022.
The artist, who is being held in Tripoli prison, will be brought before the judges in order to be publicly accountable for four cases of rape of minors or young men. Lignadis was sentenced to pre-trial detention last February on a charge of serial rape of a minor following allegations by two victims, while last March a third complaint against him for rape, with an adult victim in this case, led to his second conviction. .
Recently, the Council of Criminal Courts ordered the referral of Dimitris Lignadis for the cases of sexual violence attributed to him, with the judges ruling that the former artistic director of the National Theater is a person “dangerous, with passions and obsessions, strong anti-social feelings “. The council’s council acknowledges that the actor is facing “serious evidence of guilt” for the accusation of serial rape against him.
According to the judges, the accused should not be released from prison, but his detention should be extended to prevent new crimes. The same view was expressed by the prosecutor who suggested his referral to the Council, who pointed out that “the repeated execution of the act, its long-term action, the method it has developed to reach its victims, building a relationship of trust with them and taking advantage of his social, professional and economic position to entice them, but also their own economically and socially vulnerable position, the fact that he circulated publicly with his minor victims, without any suspension, but also his unrepentant attitude to date , show that he is a dangerous person, with passions and obsessions, endowed with strong anti-social feelings, so that the maintenance of his temporary detention is deemed necessary to prevent the commission of new criminal acts “.
