Man Arrested in Nea Ionia for Inappropriate Acts with a Minor

A shocking incident has occurred in Nea Ionia, where a 42-year-old man was arrested for inappropriate behavior towards a 14-year-old boy. According to reports, an off-duty police officer witnessed the man engaging in lewd acts—hugging, caressing, and kissing the minor on the mouth—in broad daylight at a public square. The off-duty officer promptly alerted the Rapid Response Unit, leading to the man’s arrest at the Nea Ionia Police Station. He was charged with sexual harassment under aggravating circumstances and brought before the competent prosecutor. This is not the first time this individual has been arrested for similar offenses; approximately a year ago, he was caught in Patissia committing indecent acts against another minor. It is reported that the suspect, who lacks a permanent residence, used his acquaintance with the boy’s father to gain the teenager’s trust and exploit the situation for his own purposes.
