The 27-year-old defendant was found guilty of all 28 charges he faces in closed proceedings before the Limassol Permanent Assize Court. The defendant did not admit any charges he faced, with the case going to a hearing.
The case is shocking, with the victim and perpetrator being siblings, and its details are shocking. As philenews is aware, the horrific offences against the victim occurred for two years, between 2012 and 2014, when the victim was 9 years old and her accused brother was 15 years old.
What the underage girl experienced for two years at the hands of her brother causes goosebumps. The Permanent Assize Court found him guilty of all the offences, included in the multi-page indictment, concerning the sexual exploitation of a child in violation of Article 2, 10 and 12 of the Combating and Trafficking and Exploitation of Persons, Law 87 (I)2007 as well as the offence of incest.
The Assize Court, in yesterday's multi-page decision, found the prosecution witnesses credible, as well as the victim, unlike the defense witnesses who were judged not to have knowledge of the facts.
According to the same information, the victim, during her sessions with a psychologist when she was 18 years old, confided what she experienced at the hands of her brother, at the tender age of 9.
