The jury sentenced the famous actor to eight years in prison. Petros Philippidis Where was convicted unanimously for two attempts at rape at the expense of young actors, while also unanimously he was acquitted from categories for two rapes whom his young colleague was denouncing against him. After his conviction, the court ruled that Petros Philippidis should not go to prison, as it decided to stay the execution of the sentence pending his appeal. A little earlier, the prosecutor of the trial, Stella Stoya, suggested that the court impose a sentence of eight years for both acts (attempted rape).

The prosecutor made her proposal within the limits of criminal liability established by law, and also suggested that he be acquitted on charges of two rapes. Prosecutorial proposals by Ms. Stoya on all parameters of the decision were accepted by a unanimous decision of the judges and jurors.

The trial of defendant Petros Philippidis began about a year ago, when his case of two rapes and two attempted rapes was completed. Complaints against him were received from three actors who were also questioned in court, two behind closed doors and one in the usual mode, and there were also complaints from other actresses, which, however, did not concern the court, as it was before and were overdue. Petitions for a closed interrogation of young actors who filed complaints against Philippidis were filed by them and accepted by the court.

Court prosecutor Stella Stoya, during her speech at the trial, proposed to acquit the accused actor for two rapes and to convict him only for attempted rapes, arguing that the first of the actresses who filed relevant complaints against Petros Philippidis for two rapes, whom she could not convince during interrogation in court in the veracity of what she said, and, in addition, in the fact that she first reported one case of rape to the judicial authorities, and a few months later, when the interrogation was underway, she reported the second. According to the prosecutor, this event further undermined her authority.

The prosecutor’s proposal was unanimously accepted by the judges and juries, since the mixed jury trials, which deal with especially shameful crimes such as rape, consist of a majority of jurors, that is, citizens chosen from electoral lists, and a minority of judges. (four juries, three judges).

The acquittal of Petros Philippidis for two rapes – rapes in the sense of the law, that is, violent sexual harassment and unfinished intercourse – reported by a young actress, and his conviction for only two attempts, related to the complaints of two other young actors, led to the fact that The court commuted the sentence of the defendants. The petition of his lawyers to recognize mitigating circumstances for Petros Philippidis (cohabitation and good behavior after the act) was not accepted by the court, as it was rejected unanimously, while the prosecutor rejected it, arguing that the accused was not convinced that he had turned the page of his life . In addition, the prosecutor emphasized that his offense “was not a contradiction or a surprise”, given the numerous complaints filed against him and the cases of violence on his part over a long period of time.
