What is happening

What the sources report

For the second time within a few months, a 46-year-old priest in Thessaloniki has been convicted following a complaint by his former wife.[1]

The Single-Member Court of Misdemeanours in Flagrante Delicto found him guilty of domestic threats and violation of sexual dignity and imposed a total prison sentence of 11 months, with a three-year suspension.[2]

According to the complaint, the tension allegedly began during contact between the former couple to arrange when the priest would meet their three minor children, and the accused allegedly made threats against the woman's life and sexually explicit remarks.[3]

Last June he had been sentenced to an 18-month commutable sentence for another incident reported by the same woman, and the sentence was suspended pending appeal, with a restraining order prohibiting approach.[4]

In his defence, the priest denied the charges, spoke of a vindictive complaint and said he has been suspended from his priestly duties.[4]

Where they differ

Proto Thema reports that the new incident took place last Sunday, while Newsbeast and Makedonia report that the phone conversation took place in the previous 24 hours, according to the complaint.[2][4][5]

Proto Thema reports that the woman has also accused the priest of rape, while enikos.gr and LiFO write that she has accused him of sexual abuse in the past.[3][6][5]
