Man accused of raping partner’s children jailed pending trial

A 52-year-old man was remanded in custody on Monday pending trial on charges he repeatedly sexually abused his partner’s two children – a 14-year-old boy and a disabled 26-year-old.

The suspect, who lived with the family in a village in southern Crete, is accused, among other charges, of rape, sexual acts with a minor and violating the weapons law.

The case file includes a video allegedly filmed by the 14-year-old victim as evidence of the abuse he and his disabled brother incurred.

The 52-year-old is said to have claimed he only had one consensual sexual encounter with the teen boy.
