Police seek information on online pedophile

Police on Wednesday published the name and photograph of a 47-year-old man accused of blackmailing teenage girls into posting explicit photographs of themselves online.

Themistoklis Mavrodimos, from Larissa, central Greece, allegedly created a false profile on Facebook featuring a picture of himself at the age of 19 in order to attract female teenage users.
