The mother of the girl who at the age of 8 fell victim to the seduction of a musician[/B] of a Greek rock band is calling for a final vindication for her daughter that will be, as she stresses, "a vindication for many more abused girls".
"Today my daughter is 16.5 years old and the trauma inflicted on her by the accused with his illegal act, which he had been committing for a long time, still bears it[/B] today. It caused her at a vulnerable age fatal confusion about what is permissible and what is not, confusion about when an adult shows unadulterated affection and when sick sexuality. While an excellent student and a well-adjusted teenager, yet even now she fails to understand how while what the perpetrator did to her is punishable by law, he is free," says the mother of the girl who, according to the indictment, was victimized by the then 60-year-old drummer.

"The final vindication of my daughter will symbolically be a vindication for many abused girls, who may even have kept their mouths shut until now," notes the mother of the minor girl.
"She is still receiving psychological support today. She has both me and her father and brother by her side. We believe that this time, as in the first instance, the truth will shine," he says.
