“During the disputed period, I saw Lignadis in Epidaurus with two young men,” a witness testified

Absolutely sure that he saw Dimitris Lignadis with two teenagers in Epidaurus on the days when the accused is reported that he raped the second plaintiff, said the actor and director Costas Filippoglou who completed his deposition which had begun the previous trial.

The renowned actor repeated today before the MOD that on July 24 to 26, 2015, he had seen the former head of the National Theater in Epidaurus together with two young men, where he was, as they were staying in the same accommodation.

“I saw the accused in his room on Saturday at noon. I was crossing the road to get in the car. Earlier, he had met a friendly couple with the two people. They saw him as soon as he got out of the car with the two boys and entered the rooms. They were greeted. Going to the car, I see the accused and the two children who were already on the balcony and looking at the view. I did not greet him. They were two young boys. “I can not restrain my physiognomy, many years have passed,” the witness reiterated in court today, whose testimony shakes the accused’s claim that he was not in Epidaurus at the time of the alleged rape.

The witness stressed that the company he saw in the Argolic city impressed him as “there was a rumor but I will not expand because it was exactly a rumor. I remember the fact and the image, possibly due to the reputation I kept the image “he said and added that” it seemed very special to me and it did not seem a simple friendly meeting. “It was not a normal friendly company due to age.”

Civil Action: How do you conclude that they were young boys?

Witness: The way I saw them that day they seemed to me… especially one. I do not remember any features, I remember that one was of African descent and the other was not. The first one seemed small, petite, from its profile. I do not know how to say it…

Civil action: What was the reputation?

Witness: That attracts young underage boys.

The witness stated that no evidence could be found from the accommodation for the accommodation in question as the owner of the specific rented apartments – who has been called as a witness – did not cut documents, nor did he keep any guest books.

Following the completion of the testimony of Mr. Filippoglou, which is disputed as to its credibility by the defense of the accused, the prosecutor requested that the persons who were with the witness in Epidaurus at the time in question be summoned to court, a proposal that was not made. accepted by the court.

A friend of the first plaintiff, Dimitris Lignadis, also testified today, who confirmed the allegations of the alleged victim about meetings they had with the accused.

According to him, the accused was in the company of minors and promised the plaintiff, who was interested in the field of theater and music, to bring him in contact with prominent artists. The plaintiff’s friend also described the meeting at the house of Dimitris Lignadis where, according to the allegation made by the two young men, the artist had treated them to alcohol and hashish and had suggested that they all participate in sexual acts.

The trial is set to begin on May 11.
