Faced with heavy criminal treatment, which arrives for life is now the main defendant in the horrific sexual abuse of a minor girl in Colonos if the Mixed Jury Court adopts the prosecutor’s proposal not to recognize a single mitigating factor.

The seriousness of his actions and his conviction for serious crimes, led the prosecutor to a proposal according to which, no mitigating factor should be recognized for the 55-year-old owner of a mini market in Colonos, who was the protagonist of the sexual abuse of the minor girl.

The prosecutor also suggested that no mitigating circumstances be recognized for the mother of the minor, who has only been convicted of extortion and acquitted of the serious charges of pimping, by a narrow majority as the jury voted to acquit her and the judges to the contrary. The non-recognition of mitigating circumstances to the mother, according to the prosecutor, is related to the gravity of her act of not having exercised the supervision required by her position over the minor and having left him open to the appetites of perpetrators of criminal behavior.

As regards the other defendants, who were found guilty because they participated in the sexual abuse of the minor, the prosecutor proposed to recognize mitigating circumstances, only to those who had a cohabitation with the victim, but no mitigation for the others, and only for one attempted suicide, he suggested recognition of mitigating remorse after the act.
The Court continues its session with the purchase of counsel after the prosecution’s proposal and the Court’s final decision on the sentences may be issued late today or tomorrow.
