Shock in Chania: Teenager Reports Gang Rape – 10 Arrested – Acts Were Videotaped

Ten people have been arrested in Chania following a 17-year-old's report of a gang rape, with other offenses also being investigated. According to the report, five individuals sexually assaulted the minor in the early hours of Thursday, March 12th. The 17-year-old was with a 17-year-old Bulgarian national and another 17-year-old who had consumed drugs. The Bulgarian girl allegedly stated that she had consensual sexual activity with a minor while under the influence of hashish and was arrested for drug offenses. The gang rape is alleged to have involved a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old Bulgarian, three Greeks (aged 17, 21, and 27), and a 21-year-old who allegedly videotaped the act. Another 21-year-old was arrested for indecent assault. In addition, three women were arrested as guardians – a 47-year-old and a 46-year-old Bulgarian, and a 59-year-old Albanian – for negligence in supervising a minor. The arrested individuals have been led to the Prosecutor and are expected to testify before the investigating judge on Monday. The charges they face include rape with serious risk to life, sexual acts without consent, indecent assault, child pornography, possession of child pornography material, and violation of personal data.
