7-year prison sentence, with no suspensory appeal due to the special nature and danger of the act for the protection of the minor of the child, the 5-member Military Court of Ioannina unanimously imposed the 28-year-old football player from Agrinio, who was arrested 7 months ago as an accused for persistent neglect, in a 4-year-old boy.

According to the case file, the 28-year-old was visiting the house where the child lived, as his mother had taken custody of him. At that time, he was serving his term and therefore the trial of the case took place in a Military Court.

The toddler’s behavior had troubled his parents, who turned to child psychologists.

The 4-year-old’s drawings highlighted the problem. The 27-year-old was arrested and his details were made public by prosecutor’s order.

In his apology, the accused did not accept his actions and the expertise of the child psychologists, while he spoke of the 4-year-old’s family’s guilt. The District Attorney suggested his guilt and 8 years of imprisonment, without suspension.

Today, the child’s relatives gathered outside the Military Court demanding justice, while strongly condemning the perpetrator.
