A court in Volos has sentenced a 60-year-old man to eight months’ imprisonment for sexually harassing two female minor volleyball players.
The defendant will serve three months behind bars while the remainder of his sentence will be suspended, according to the court’s decision.
The incident took place on Saturday at the indoor gym of the National Sports Center in Volos while the athletes, aged 16 and 17, were returning to their locker room after finishing training.
The defendant was found guilty of the serial, aggravated and attempted sexual assault of the athletes.
The court reduced his sentence on account of the man’s psychiatric problems.
Lawyers for the defendant, a former guard at the sports center who was suspended from duty before the incident and barred from the premises, said they indent to appeal the court’s decision.
