A well-known Greek athlete has filed a complaint against her former partner, accusing him of sexually assaulting their underage daughter. The athlete reported the alleged abuse and domestic threats to the authorities, initiating a legal process that culminated in a court hearing.

The alleged incidents occurred last month when the former partner reportedly made inappropriate advances toward the young girl, including touching her chest. He is also accused of asking the girl to conceal his actions from her mother. The daughter, however, confided in her mother, leading them to seek legal recourse.

Both the athlete and her daughter appeared visibly distressed and emotional during their court appearance. The accused maintained that he treated the girl as his own child, but the court did not find his defense credible. He was found guilty of the charges and received an eight-month suspended prison sentence.
