A minor confessed in court that she falsely accused a 22-year-old of sexual acts against her because she wanted to get revenge on him when she found out he was having a relationship with another girl. Based on her confession, the Mixed Jury Court of Thessaloniki – where the young man was brought to trial – him acquitted unanimously, lifting all restrictive conditions that had been imposed on him after his confession to the investigator.

The complaint was made in September 2021, in its area Pellatwo months after the alleged acts described by the then 14.5 years old plaintiff. She herself, as it emerged later, during her meeting with the then 19-year-old man hid her real age from him, saying that she is 16 years old.

“I apologize to the accused” the minor’s father testified in court and confirmed what his daughter confessed earlier regarding the content of the complaint. “He didn’t know her real age – she lied to him about being 16,” he added himself.

In the short speech of 22 years old he denied the acts, while he explained that he met the minor at a dance and that he asked her about her age.

Accepting the proposal of the district attorney, the judges acquitted him.
