ATHENS – Charges for the crimes of rape, domestic violence, dangerous bodily harm and illegal detention were filed against the 32-year-old man who was arrested on the morning of August 5 in Didymoteicho, Greece, following a complaint by his partner.

According to the police, the charges were filed August 2, following a complaint by his 32-year-old partner, the same day, to the DidymoteichoPolice Department. According to the complaint, the perpetrator, during the time period from July this year until August 2, used physical violence to force her into sexual acts and detained her inside his house, in Didymoteicho, Evros, against her will, while he had taken away her mobile phone and her identity card.

On August 5, police officers from the Didymoteicho Police Department, in collaboration with police officers from the Orestiada Police Department, identified and arrested the 32-year-old man in Didymoteicho, pursuant to a relevant arrest warrant issued by the deputy investigator of the Orestiada prosecutor’s office, for the crime of rape. The arrested person was to be taken to the authorized prosecutor.

“I beat her up a lot,” he confessed in a TikTok video

The 32-year-old confessed to the brutal beating of his partner earlier, with a video he posted on TikTok.

In a total of six videos lasting about 40 minutes, the man admitted, among other things, that he had beaten his partner, saying that “I beat her a lot, it’s not a lie. But I beat her up a lot when she told me she was going to go to the police and lie that I raped my daughter.”

“I swear to you that I will go to the police, I will go to the prosecutor in Didymoteicho and I will tell everything. I have nothing to do with rape. I’m going to surrender and tell everything,” he had noted in the videos in question before his arrest.

The 32-year-old said that he and the woman met through TikTok and that the messages he sent her were answered by her son as she herself is illiterate. They had agreed, as she says, to get married and then he told her to go from Chrysoupoli, Kavala, to Didymoteicho where he lives so they could meet.

“She stayed with me exactly one month. We went shopping in Didymoteicho, we also went for walks. This girl drinks a lot though. After five days I brought her the Gospel to make her swear that she would never drink again, because she was no longer functioning,” he said at another point in the videos.
