"I am in great shock. I went for a bath and fortunately I am alive. I could not have got out alive. I hope that no other woman will ever be in my position, being attacked from behind with such a vicious attack by an unknown man." These are the first words of the 22-year-old girl who was raped on Monday afternoon on a deserted beach in Kassandra, Halkidiki, when she wanted to go for a short swim before taking a shift at the hotel where she works.

The young girl experienced an absolute nightmare and, as she reported to police, she was savagely attacked by a 56-year-old man, whom she recognized and then arrested. "It's sad that none of the supposed guards were there to assist and stop the savage attack I was subjected to," she told protothema.gr, noting that, at the moment, she is in great need of support from understanding people, such as her family and her legal representatives.

According to information reported by the Greek protothema.gr, the forensic examination revealed relevant findings that confirm the 22-year-old's complaint of rape while, probably tomorrow, the results of DNA samples taken from the body and clothes of the victim and the accused are expected and have been sent to special laboratories in Athens for necessary analysis.

We recall that late Monday afternoon the police proceeded to arrest a man who was identified by the victim as the perpetrator of the attack. He is a 56-year-old man of Albanian origin who is an inmate of the Kassandra Rural Prison. He was brought before an investigator today and was given a deadline to enter a plea on Friday. A case was filed against him for indecent acts, while he reportedly claimed to the police that he has no involvement in the rape case of the 22-year-old girl.

What the lawyer of the 22-year-old girl, Anthoula Anasoglou, says

As she told protothema.gr, the 22-year-old's lawyer, Anthoula Anasoglou, this is an extremely shocking event, as a young working girl wanted to go to enjoy a swim in the sea and ended up being brutally attacked and raped by a man who was under supervision, correction and confinement, in the Rural Prison, where the living status is semi-liberal.

"It is truly unbelievable how the system gave freedom to this man, who immediately committed this heinous crime. He could not control his brutal instincts. The girl is literally living miraculously with all the extensive bruising she has. The girl's family is determined to see this through to the end. The young girl raises her voice against the entire correctional system and calls for a thorough investigation. Today we are glad that the girl is with us, because she could not be after the vicious attack she received," Ms. Anasoglou stressed.
