12-year-old girl’s case: The mother’s statement on Monday – New arrests are expected
On Monday at noon, the 37-year-old mother of the 12-year-old child, who was arrested on charges of aggravated pimping, apologized to the investigator. The defendant, who stayed in the investigative office for a few minutes, claims that she has absolutely nothing to do with what is attributed.
According to information from MEGA, either within the next few hours 3-4 people will be arrested, based on the statements of the 12-year-old, or there will be a more complete action a few 24 hours later. The relevant process is on a very good track, according to the report.
In the meantime, the trial of the father of the 12-year-old girl who was arrested yesterday for small amounts of drugs found in his house during the investigation carried out by the Police following the arrest warrant issued for the child’s mother was postponed to October 26 by the Autoforo Monomeles . The court after adjourning the trial ordered the release of the accused.
According to information, from the investigation conducted by the Juvenile Protection sub-directorate, it emerged that the girl’s 37-year-old mother had financial transactions (remittances) with the 53-year-old, while in the context of the preliminary investigation, which lasted more than a month, her telephone conversations with the rapist and pimp of her 12-year-old daughter. In addition, indications that he demanded money from the 53-year-old alleged perpetrator and his proceeds in order not to report him to the authorities.
Lytras: I have received phone calls – There are other complaints
“Everything will be seen in the interrogation” said the lawyer of the 37-year-old Apostolos Lytras, adding that “the only element that burdens the principal is a transfer that we know exists, but we do not know that it is from the 53-year-old. She herself explains it from the fact that she used to work with him”, she emphasized.
Following his statement, Apostolos Lytras added: “I have received phone calls that there are other complaints about the 53-year-old and the 42-year-old. There are 2 other girls who complain, they are currently 18 years old but when they were minors it appears they were trying to approach other children to force them into prostitution. It is certain that other persons will be investigated. The 213 who are heard must also be held accountable, if there is evidence”, he said and added: “there is no one who can justify the mother for the way she behaved towards her older child. You don’t let a 12-year-old go out and go to every store by himself, that’s for sure. But these are not related to the offense charged. I was also impressed by this behavior, but it does not constitute a crime. The perpetrator won her trust and that’s why there are these small amounts in remittances.”
In a written statement yesterday, the ex-wife of the 53-year-old claims that she has been estranged from her husband for three months, even though they live in the same house, and that she gave money to the mother of the 12-year-old for charity after learning of her husband’s actions. In her statement she states that she was informed of the case on September 3 by the 12-year-old’s mother herself, who shared two text messages on the Internet that her estranged husband had exchanged with the minor. She also reports that the girl’s 37-year-old mother asked her and in some cases extorted money from her, on the grounds that she wanted to take the 12-year-old girl to the doctor. In one of the messages, the 37-year-old woman writes: “I am being pressured by the child’s aunt that if I don’t do it from here (in order to report the case to EL.AS.) what should she do from the island and I can’t calm her down (…) I will need 100 euros today. As you can see, I haven’t made any progress on the case. I have it frozen. At least you should help me too.”
The case file includes messages sent by the 12-year-old’s mother to the 53-year-old defendant, from the content of which it appears that she was unaware of what contributed to her child’s burden. In them, she allegedly wrote to him: “You destroyed me, you trusted me with my child. You are a pedophile, abnormal. You won’t save her. I’ll tell your wife.”
Yesterday, Alpha presented messages that appear to have been exchanged by the two women from September 3, shortly before the complaint was made to the Colonos Police Department, until the 8th of the same month.
The said communications are expected to be included in the case file, immediately after the apology next Monday (17/10).
Some messages as presented on the show:
Mother of 12-year-old: Please, we need to communicate. I have lost the ground under my feet.
A missed call follows.
Then the 12-year-old’s mother sends the 53-year-old’s wife the vulgar messages that her husband sent to the underage girl.
At 13:29 a voice call begins, lasting 9 minutes, while the girl’s mother continues to send the defendant’s wife his obscene messages to the 12-year-old.
At 13:59 of the same day, the 12-year-old’s mother informs the 53-year-old’s wife that she is reporting her for sexual harassment.
“I, with all these facts in my hands, go to the department for a report of sexual harassment of a minor,” he writes.
“I will need 100 euros today, as you can see, I have not done anything about the case, I have frozen it”
Two calls follow, one audio and one voice, and at 15:07 the mother of the 12-year-old sends another message to the husband of the 53-year-old, saying that she herself does not want them to go to extremes, but is being pressured by the child’s aunt who discovered the messages . of horror.
“I also don’t want to go to the other end, for two families to be destroyed, as she said, but the child’s aunt is pressuring me that if I don’t do it from here, I do it from the island and I can’t calm her down. The kids went to have a good time for a few days and look what happened. I don’t know who to hold back, because I’m not good with all this either. I should not do anything either, she is determined, and if I don’t do something I report to the Police, she will go alone and they will come from here to call me, you understand what happens… She is a minor child. “How can I leave all this so that the monster is not destroyed? I will feel sorry for him;”. That’s what they tell me. “Why are you leaving it like that?”, they say to me. They keep calling me from the island. What can I say?”, he writes in the SMS.
Another missed call follows.
At 10:00 in the evening, the girl’s mother goes to the Kolonou Police Station and makes the complaint.
Three days after the complaint, on September 6, the 37-year-old again sends messages to the 53-year-old’s husband.
In her announcement, the 53-year-old’s ex-wife claims that after dozens of text messages and unanswered calls she received, she blocked the 37-year-old and had no further contact with her.
Awaiting the crucial day of the 37-year-old’s apology, by her side, according to her defenders, are all her children which are fighting for the criminal treatment that will be reserved for her by an investigator and a prosecutor.
However, according to information, the main accused in the case, 53-year-old Ilias Michos, is said to have implicated his now co-accused, the mother of the minor.
The defendant is said to have argued that he believed the mother knew what was going on. In another part of his apology, he even claims that when he had asked the little girl what her mother was saying when she saw her returning home late with 50 euros, she had replied: “I told her I was taking care of a grandmother” and added: “She had told me . that before me she had gone with others and they paid her 50 to 100 euros. From May to August I had been with the minor 4-5 times. She was texting me and telling me to call her mom and tell her “send your daughter to help me because she was fighting with her.” I knew her age but she looked older.” In addition, the defendant admits that he had once given 300 euros to the mother because of the financial problems they were facing.
The 42-year-old Yiannis Sofianidis, apologizing, allegedly tried to shake off the role of the aggressor by shifting the blame to the 12-year-old girl.
The 12-year-old, he said apologetically, was challenging him, and as they had been found behind the Kifismo bus while she denied having a relationship with his 53rd co-accused. On the contrary, for the minor, he claimed that she was pressuring him to be with her, admitting that he has been with her a few times.
Besides, the police raided the brothel in Gazi where the 12-year-old is said to be taken out last night. According to what became known, 4 foreign women were arrested.
