A father who allegedly sexually abused four underage girls who were friends of his children was referred to the Mixed Jury Court of Thessaloniki! He is accused of rape, committed and attempted, of sexual acts with a minor under the age of 12 and of abuse of minors, in a row and continuously.
According to the GR Times, the criminal prosecution was initiated with the complaint submitted by the mother of a minor to the police, in September 2020. When the preliminary investigation was completed, a criminal prosecution was initiated while the accused, after his apology, was sentenced to temporary detention. He has been held in Grevena prison since October 2021.
The specific man lived with his family in a suburb of Thessaloniki. The four minors visited the home of the accused, from 2015 to 2019, as they were friends of his children. The three girls (born in 2010 and 2009) were friends with his underage daughter while the fourth girl (born in 2006) was a friend of one of his sons and a classmate of his other son.
The girls went home to hang out with peer friends, knowing their parents believed they were safe and not in danger, but the accused allegedly sexually abused them. The acts are said to have been committed continuously on minors during the period in question, even when his own children were at home or temporarily absent.
In early September 2020, one of the victims found the strength and narrated some of the actions to her mother, as the accused each time told her not to say anything to anyone, because a great punishment would await her. The girl was 6 to 9 years old when she experienced this torment.
He pretended to be his daughter…
The referral panel states the following: The accused communicated with her via messages from the telephone connection used by his daughter and invited her to his house. The patient considered that she was communicating with her friend and for that reason she went to the house of the accused but found that his daughter was absent from the tuition center etc. He locked the doors, pushed her on the couch, hugged her and tried to calm her down, telling her that he loved her, that she was beautiful and better than the others.
The second minor, aged 8 to 10, experienced similar sexual abuse from 2017 to 2019. “Once, when his minor daughter went to the toilet of the house and even though the minor followed her because she was afraid that she would repeat he kissed her the above acts with the use of physical force and forced her to tolerate sexual acts while he stopped only when his daughter was about to leave the toilet area “, the relevant committee reports. As well as that the girl due to the anxiety and shame she felt did not find the courage to mention them while when she went home she tried to stay in the courtyard and not enter so that the accused would not be alone with her.
From 2015 to 2019, he did the same to the third minor, when the little girl was 5 to 9 years old, taking advantage of the time when his minor daughter went to the toilet on another floor of his house and stopped only when he returned. The little girl reported it to her mother and when her father asked for explanations from the accused he spoke of a misunderstanding. She was friends with one son and a classmate with the other son who, while at home, did not realize anything because he was playing video games on a machine screen.
According to the prosecuting authorities, in mid-2018, the fourth minor, aged 12 (then), who was a friend of one of his sons and a classmate of his other son, was sexually abused by the accused.
“We were never alone”
During his apology, at the stage of the main interrogation, the specific man denied the accusations attributed to him. He claimed that he never found himself alone with any of the minor victims who, when they visited his house, were with his minor children in the yard or in the basement. He said that what the first minor complained about were products of her imagination and the feeling of jealousy she experienced seeing the relationship he had with his underage daughter. On the other hand, she pointed out that when she reported the incidents to her parents, they did not appeal to the competent authorities nor did they prohibit their daughter from visiting his home. With what he said, he denied the other two minors.
The judicial authorities, however, ruled that the allegations of the accused did not correspond to reality.
Preliminary psychological expertise of the four minors on what they reported as acts against them showed that what they revealed was not a figment of their imagination and was not due to any benefit or other reasons.
