A gruesome case of sexual abuse of a minor was tried before the Heraklion Joint Jury Court on Tuesday, involving a 32-year-old Pakistani man and his partner’s girlfriend, who he abused and raped when his mother left for work at night.

From the age of 7, the 32-year-old physically abused the child, while the sexual abuse began at the age of 9.

According to information from Cretalive.gr, the mother left at night for work as she worked in a bar and left the little girl at home with her Pakistani partner. It was a small child and he forcibly dragged it to the bed to sexually abuse it, “sealing” its mouth under the regime of fear.

The child’s life had become a nightmare, physically and mentally. But the weight he was carrying on his small backs was so great that he “bent”. One day, in December 2022, returning from school, accompanied by her mother, she opened her heart and confided everything to her. The 31-year-old had realized that something was wrong and so she started asking the girl.

The 32-year-old Pakistani, who was remanded in prison in Tripoli, was found guilty of the charges of repeated rape of a minor, repeated abuse of a minor by a person who lives with the minor, repeated physical harm to a minor and also damage to a partner, as it is alleged that he frequently erupted against the mother of the 9-year-old.

The 32-year-old was sentenced to life in prison for the charge of aggravated rape, while he was also sentenced to 15 years and 8 months in prison for the other acts.
