Kypseli: The 64-year-old who attempted to rape a 25-year-old disabled woman is remanded in custody
A 64-year-old man of Albanian descent has been remanded in custody after attempting to sexually assault a 25-year-old woman with disabilities in Kypseli, Greece.
A 64-year-old man of Albanian descent has been remanded in custody following his attempted sexual assault of a 25-year-old woman with disabilities in Kypseli, Greece. The attack reportedly also involved the man's attempt to rape the woman's twin sister, who is also disabled. The incident has raised significant concerns regarding the safety of vulnerable individuals and the societal response to such heinous crimes.
During his court testimony, the suspect claimed to have consumed a large amount of alcohol and could not remember the events of the attack. He also indicated that he has psychiatric issues and requested a psychiatric evaluation through his lawyer. His defense suggests possible mental health challenges that may have contributed to his actions, highlighting a complex interplay between personal history and criminal behavior in cases involving sexual violence.
The suspect alleged that he was in the family home because the mother of the 25-year-old had given him the keys to show the property to potential buyers, as it was on the market. This defense adds a layer of confusion and raises questions about the circumstances surrounding the attack. The case underlines the need for vigilant protections for individuals with disabilities and scrutiny of individuals in positions where they can access vulnerable populations.
