A gruesome case of sexual exploitation of a minor with the blessings of her father, which had caused a pan-Hellenic uproar, was determined by the Dodecanese Appeals Prosecutor’s Office to be tried in second degree at the Dodecanese Mixed Jury Court of Appeal on March 4, 2024.
The court of first instance, by a majority decision, found the defendants, namely a 67-year-old resident of Kalymnos and a 41-year-old fellow resident of Kalymnos, guilty of repeated rape, repeated indecency with a minor under the age of 15, repeated sex trafficking of a minor and for simple complicity in lewdness with a minor under the age of 15 years for regular and customary remuneration.
In the first no mitigating factors were recognized while in the second the mitigating factor of subsequent good behavior was recognized.
The first was sentenced to 28 years in prison (he will serve 25) and a fine of 100,000 euros, and the second to 13 years in prison.
The defendants were arrested by police officers from the Kalymnos police station following a complaint by the 41-year-old’s minor daughter in August 2017.
He forced his 14-year-old daughter into prostitution for a fee of 5-20 euros
According to information from dimokratiki.gr, the case caused shock and disgust, since the father allegedly forced his 14-year-old daughter into prostitution for a fee of 5-20 euros a time from October 2013 until August 2017.
The minor allegedly confessed what she was experiencing to her aunts and on August 16, 2017 she reported her father and the 67-year-old to the Kalymnos Police Department.
She lived with her father and brother in a single-story house across a field near a coffee shop. According to what the child claimed, the 67-year-old forcibly dragged her to a field and raped her there.
Her father and her brother were not at home and the old man allegedly left her the sum of 5 euros as a fee.
She claims she then told her father what had happened and he urged her to forget what had happened and that he would sort out the 67-year-old himself.
She claimed that the 67-year-old continued to cheat on her almost 2 to 3 times every week.
She specifically claimed that he raped her and left her 5 to 10 euros each time and that she herself left the money to her father.
She also claimed that her father encouraged her to be with the 67-year-old and sometimes even argued with her.
The defendants categorically denied what the minor claims and emphasized that these are fiction.
