Greece: Parents Arrested Following Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Their Children

A 54-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman have been arrested in the Mesara region of Heraklion, Greece, following allegations of sexual abuse of their children. The father is accused of sexual acts with his two daughters, aged 15 and 22, between 2024 and December 2025. The older daughter, who has a mental disability, is alleged to have become pregnant and the child was given up for adoption in Northern Greece. The complaint was filed by a family member, who also reported physical violence by the mother. The two girls have been placed in the care of their older brother, who lives in Lassithi, under a prosecutor's order. The accused parents are expected to be brought before the competent prosecutor.
