Complaint-shock of an athlete for a national team coach: “I was 14, she told me ‘I want to show you my love'”

Creepy details from the sexual abuse she experienced from her coach at the age of 14 were shared by Maria Pappakou. The former gymnast spoke to MEGA about her shocking experience when she was a member of the National Team.

«At the age of 14, he started stretching his arms around my body. He hugged me tightly, he was trying to kiss me on the mouth. He was resting his genitals on my genitals, while we were flexing“, Confesses Maria Papakou, emphasizing, in particular, that there were people who saw his actions, but no one had intervened.

«All the coaches saw that. Nobody said a word to him, nobody put a limit, a stop. It happened to too many girls in the National Team. And I thought it was just me. After a long time it happened and I met my old coach and he asked me the following question ‘did this person finally push you? why did we have this question ‘and I told her’ you all knew it and nobody did anything ‘?. He commented on my buttocks, telling me how nice my breasts are and how nice he grows, when he will kiss my lips. He used to tell me that ‘only I, you and God, know what is happening, it is sacred’».

The details of the coach’s action are terrifying: “On a trip we had, he knocked on the door of the room and a fellow athlete opened it for him. I was not afraid of him because we were a lot of girls together and I say he will not do anything to me. But he told everyone ‘leave the room I want to be alone with Maria’ and they left and left me alone. My legs were amputated, my heart started beating, it was beating as if it wanted to come out of my chest, I could not react, I thought the situation was over, I had no words to say.

He took off his shirt, grabbed my head, tried to kiss me on the mouth and neck. I chased him away but he rubbed his body against me. He threw me on the bed, I got up to leave, he pulled me by the arm, he clung to me again and I fell on the bed. He kissed me everywhere, put his hand on my genitals, tried to undress me, grabbed my hand and tried to put it through his underwear.

I started shouting, I panicked, I did not know how to react, my body was shaking inside. He told me not to shout, they should not listen to us ‘I love you, I am, you know how much I love you, do not be afraid, I want to show you love’ he told me. My forces abandoned me, I started crying and that is where it finally stopped. He may have reached his goal. “It does not matter that we may have missed the opportunity today, but there is another day,” he told me.
