“I’m Shocked”: Patient’s Reaction to Doctor Arrested for Child Pornography

Shock has gripped Patras following the arrest of a retired obstetrician-gynecologist on charges of possessing child pornography. The case came to light after a report from Google and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who detected suspicious material in an email. During a search of his home, hard drives, computers, and a mobile phone were found containing photographs allegedly taken by him, depicting the sexual abuse of his underage grandchildren. A patient of the doctor expressed her shock, describing him as an excellent professional who never made her feel uncomfortable, emphasizing her disbelief at his actions.
