A Greek actor and drama teacher has been sentenced to four years in prison, suspended until his appeal, after being found guilty of rape and two attempted rapes against two women.
In a significant ruling, a Greek actor and drama teacher was found guilty by the Mixed Jury Court of rape and two attempted rapes related to incidents that occurred in 2012 and 2013. The court's decision was rendered with a narrow majority of 4 to 3, with dissenting opinions from the presiding judge and two of the jurors. Despite a request from the prosecution for the defendant's acquittal due to reasonable doubts, the majority of the judges upheld the guilty verdict, recognizing the defendant's good behavior post-crime as a mitigating factor. The court imposed a four-year prison sentence, which is suspended pending the defendant's appeal, along with a travel ban.
