The Joint Jury Court of Rhodesgynaikologos, for serial rape, serial molestation, serial molestation, and indecent assault. The doctor had been reported by 21 women.

The 68-year-old was found not guilty of one complaint, as the woman in question did not attend the trial and was not represented by a lawyer, according to rodiaki.gr. The court’s decision was made by a majority after a juror suggested the doctor be acquitted.

Despite the defense’s attempt to have the mitigating factor of prior lawful life recognized, the court rejected the request by a majority vote.

Earlier, the prosecutor of the court had suggested very heavy sentences for the 68-year-old, recommending seven years in prison for each of the first two acts (serial rape and abuse of a person incapable of resisting a sexual act in a serial rape) and six months in prison for the violation of sexual dignity.

According to the victims’ complaints, the 68-year-old man engaged in lewd acts during gynecological examinations, taking advantage of his professional position.

The women who complained against him described patterns of abuse saying, among other things, that he made degrading comments, kissed them on the neck and touched them inappropriately, pushed them around, and was lewd during examinations.

The gynecologist’s apology

The 68-year-old denied all charges, claiming he was the victim of a “frame-up” and that the complainants had financial and personal motives against him. He insisted that he strictly followed medical ethics and that his actions were misinterpreted by his patients.

During his apology, he stressed that he had been a respected professional for 40 years and had never received any complaints. He portrayed himself as a victim of the media and claimed that the case was based on fabricated testimony.

The prosecutor’s statement

The prosecutor, during her closing, confirmed the credibility of the victims and stressed that their descriptions converge, which supports the guilt of the accused.

“21 women can’t conspire against him,” she said, rejecting the defense’s argument of “massive collusion.”

He made special reference to the emotional and psychological state of the victims, who did not react forcefully due to fear and embarrassment. He stressed that the accused abused their trust by taking advantage of the prestige of his medical status.

For their part, the prosecution’s supporting counsel emphasized the strong consistency of the victims’ testimonies and the rebuttal of the defense’s arguments. In particular, they pointed out that the defense failed to refute the serious charges with evidence.

On the other hand, the defense attorneys attempted to portray the allegations as the product of an organized frame-up, arguing that many of the complainants belonged to online groups where they discussed how to take legal action against him.
