Shocking Allegation: An 18-year-old girl escaped today from a house where a police officer had been holding her captive for a month, forcing her into prostitution, raping her, and torturing her – The police attempted to cover it up.
«The complaint submitted to the TPP by attorney Antonia Legaki was very specific. An 18-year-old woman—possibly a minor—escaped today from the house where a police officer had been holding her captive for a month and forcing her into prostitution. »After managing to escape, the girl took refuge in a café. She was in bad shape, beaten and terrified,” according to the The Press Project.
According to information circulating on social media,
«The irony of the situation is that the first reaction of the people who saw it was to call the police...»
«The girl is currently being questioned in a room at the Internal Affairs Department, where she is being denied contact with her lawyer, while the perpetrator remains at large,» according to the same statement.
An attempt by the police to cover up the incident
According to what he said in the The Press Project Mr. Giannis Mykoniatis, the lawyer who was with the 18-year-old at the Ilioupoli Police Station: «A few hours ago, an 18-year-old girl in Ilioupoli went to a café after being assaulted and asked for help from the girl who was there. She informed us that the 18-year-old told her that the man she’d been in a relationship with for a month, as she said, was abusing her and forcing her into prostitution. He was holding her captive in the apartment, threatening her with a gun and preventing her from contacting anyone. At the Ilioupoli Police Station, where we were with the girl, they did not take her statement; she only gave her account verbally. And because the man who was abusing her is a police officer, the case has now been referred to the Internal Affairs Division of the Hellenic Police. We’re currently outside the building; they won’t let us go inside, on the grounds that the young woman isn’t a suspect. At this moment, we don’t know what’s happening inside; we’re being told that the case is under preliminary investigation.».
In response to this shocking incident, a feminist collective was formed in the neighborhood and is calling for support for the 18-year-old girl.
