‘ He called me and told me it was a mistake” he filed a screenwriter and friend of the director accused of rape

Second witness to the court testified a partner, screenwriter and friend, Kostas Kostopoulos and a well-known actress and complainant for , Helena Athanasopoulou. The witness described that when it happened, the well-known director called him and told him he became a… twist. “He told me he had gone out with Helena and then went to a parking lot and, somewhere there, they had been in the backseat, made preliminary, and somewhere there he had started the act and she reacted. She tried to calm her down, and then she left her in the “Acrotiri” to a friend. She wouldn’t talk to him and she left. He told me to call her. I told him I didn’t know her very well and I sent her a message and her answer was that “Kostopoulos raped me”. There, I froze. I call him again and tell him. And he says no I just told me to stop, I stopped right away. He asked me what he’d do, he’d go to the police. He told me if he wanted to go to the police with me. I asked her if she would go to the police and say yes. Later, he told me he did not have the courage,” the witness described. President: His reaction when he said he raped her what she was like? Did he seem surprised? Witness: I was surprised by the style of what he said. He denied it. He said “he just reacted, I stopped.” Session: Was there something erotic between them? Witness: Nope. The witness answering questions said the director’s intention when he contacted him was to call the complainant because he didn’t talk to him all night. Sub-Category: He wanted to know if Mrs. Athanasopoulou was going to report him. Did he tell you to go to the police together? What did he mean? Does that make sense to you? Witness: For Costopoulos yes. He’s a man who doesn’t freeze. If he’s in trouble he can go to the police himself. “I couldn’t understand if it was rape,” said the witness, answering questions from the defense. Plus. Super:Is Costopoulos a rapist? Witness: Not okay to hang out with him… plus. In 2012 and 2013 did you hang out with him? Did you interrupt with him because you thought he raped her? Witness: No. The witness concluded that on the one hand he is in favour of metoo, but on the other hand he does not know what happened that night. “I am in favour of metoo and these events, so I decided to testify about Helena. Beyond that I cannot have an opinion what happened that night,” said the witness, completing his testimony. The trial continues on April 5, while the court also ordered the violent arrest of a witness, a friend of the complainant.
