A 33-year-old man was arrested on September 5 in Ilioupoli, Greece, on suspicion of recruiting and sexually exploiting two 16-year-old girls.
According to the Greek Police, the young man is accused of providing minor clients and organizing their meetings in exchange for financial gain.
The 33-year-old was investigated by a special team of the Sub-Directorate for the Protection of Minors, and his arrest was based on an arrest warrant. According to authorities, the suspected activity had been going on since at least June of this year.
Police say the 33-year-old posted ads on an erotic website, which included photos of two minors and his phone number. Through these ads, he allegedly contacted interested parties and arranged meetings with the girls.
During the arrest, the 33-year-old resisted police officers. A significant amount of digital evidence, as well as 45 grams of raw cannabis, were found and seized in his possession.
Serious charges have been brought against him, including trafficking in minors for the purpose of sexual exploitation, kidnapping a minor for profit, child pornography through computer systems, repeated prostitution, violence against police officers, and violation of the legislation on narcotic substances.
After the arrest, the 33-year-old was sent to the competent Prosecutor's Office, while investigations continue to fully document the activity for which he is accused.
