The revelations about the actions of the 38-year-old father who systematically molested his children for years are horrifying. The news coming from Chania about the father who sexually abused two of his five children has "frozen" the nation.
The five children lived with their grandmother in Chania as both the 38-year-old perpetrator and the children's mother had lost custody by court order due to environmental neglect.
The case came to light after one of the two victims decided to talk about the nightmare they were living to a person in his close family environment.
A nightmare they had been living for 8 long years, a 15-year-old and an 8-year-old by their own father. Specifically, according to neakriti from 2014 until last Easter, a period during which the 15-year-old allegedly submitted silently to the sick appetites of the perpetrator, while the lewd acts against the eight-year-old are determined in fewer years.
The 38-year-old offender who is expected to be taken to Tripoli Prison, following his apology to the Chania investigating authorities last Thursday, was arrested following coordinated actions by the Security Sub-Division earlier this week.
It was a member of his family who became aware of what was happening and which the older girl confided to him, ending the torment.
The 15-year-old girl described how the days close to their father evolved into a torture that caused deep wounds in her body and in her childhood and later teenage psyche. Unaware of her father's actions, the 8-year-old was allegedly less traumatized mentally.
"They were naked, hungry and neglected."
The victims were growing up in their grandmother's house with their three younger brothers, boys. The mother and their 38-year-old perpetrator and father had lost custody of their five children by court order due to environmental neglect.
Initially the five siblings were transferred to a welfare facility in the city of Chania and later the custody was taken over by their grandmother as a foster parent. "They were naked, hungry and neglected in parks and neighborhoods," a former neighbor of the couple told neakritri.gr.
The perpetrator took the children on holidays when schools were closed, abused them and returned them to the grandmother , who had not noticed a thing.
Unclear remains the role of the mother who, however , also allegedly did not know, while the 5 minors were raised by the 75-year-old mother of the perpetrator with great financial hardship, but with love and dignity, as neighbors say.
Characteristic of the conditions in which the five children lived with their parents in Chania is the fact that when prosecutors and police intervened after the complaints of neighbors, the children were removed without complaint from the environment and people who under normal circumstances, they would never want to be separated.
The 15-year-old, after eight long years, managed to break her silence and talk to the police and the psychologist of the Chania Police Department. For her there is evidence that clearly speak of rape, while for her 8-year-old sister who also spoke out, currently recorded lewd acts against her.
In the past, the 38-year-old Chaniotis is said to have concerned the authorities for drug-related offences, while, in the context of the investigation being carried out on the current case, is being thoroughly investigated whether and how the three boys of the family had been victimized by the father.
