The decision was supposed to be handed down yesterday, but due to the bad weather it was postponed by a day
One of the most emblematic cases of sexual violence that emerged in the context of the so-called Greek meToo closes today, unexpectedly, with the decision of the Joint Jury for Petros Filippidis.
The verdict of the court that for almost a year is trying one of the most prominent artists of the theater space, will be announced at 2 in the afternoon.
The three regular judges and the four jurors having taken into account all the evidence, will decide on the indictment against the famous actor which includes accusations of one rape and two attempted rapes against three of his colleagues.
Both the defendant and the three women who denounced him are today anxiously waiting to hear the judge’s assessment, expecting each side to be vindicated:
The complainants, who have been present all this time at the trial, expect a punishment for what they claim they suffered from the accused when they asked him for a job. The famous actor himself expects a total acquittal as he claims that everything attributed to him “is a lie”, is an “organized plan” with the aim of eating himself so that “the pie can be redistributed in the theater”.
The case dealt with by the court is one of the most difficult to prove crimes, a particularity that the Chief Prosecutor of the Court, Stella Stoya, had emphasized in her speech, referring to the crimes of sexual brutality, as those that “are not committed in the presence of witnesses”, which are “invisible crimes” “, as he had emphasized.
The actor is accused of raping a colleague in 2008, an act that happened twice, as well as of attempting to rape two other actresses, in 2010 and 2014.
