Filippidis Trial: Prosecutor Proposes Acquittal in First Rape Allegation
Share on:

In the trial of Petros Filippidis, the prosecutor proposed the acquittal of the actor for the first rape allegation, citing "numerous doubts."

During the evidentiary process that lasted approximately eight months, the prosecutor referred to contradictions in the testimony of the first accuser.

The prosecutor spoke of a possible "inner consent" or even a pre-existing romantic relationship between the accuser and the defendant, which may have been terminated.

The prosecutor questioned the fact that the woman did not report the incident to the police or mention it to her family, citing case law of the Supreme Court. He also wondered why the defendant did not prevent the accuser from leaving if he really intended to rape her.

According to the prosecutor, the defendant's behavior, such as sending messages after the incident, is not consistent with the behavior of a rapist, but more with a broken romantic relationship.
