A 41-year-old man is set to stand trial in Larissa for the alleged repeated sexual abuse of his 9-year-old adopted daughter. A Volos Council of Judges' indictment has sent the case to the Mixed Jury Court of Larissa.

According to the indictment, the alleged offenses began in the summer of 2023 in Tyrnavos. They reportedly continued from January to April 2025 when the family lived in a village in Almyros. The indictment states the 41-year-old allegedly forced the 9-year-old to sleep in his bed and threatened her relatives to compel her to endure sexual acts against her will.

The child reportedly did not disclose the abuse due to fear for her grandmother and uncle's lives, whom the accused allegedly threatened. The case was uncovered by third-party reports, not a complaint from the minor. The accused denies all charges, claiming the allegations are untrue and stem from the child's imagination. The trial is scheduled for October.
