A young girl experienced terror on Sunday afternoon in Crete when an Egyptian man took her in his arms in the sea.
A 12-year-old girl and her family went to Kokkinos Pyrgos Beach in Crete to enjoy a swim. Little did they know that the carefree swim would turn unpleasant because of the molestation the child experienced.
According to Creta Live, the 12-year-old was coming out of the water after a long swim when, with her eyes closed, she felt someone lift her in their arms. Then she quickly wiped her eyes and saw the Egyptian man holding her back and legs and holding her in his arms.
Then the man said “hello” and smiled at the 12-year-old. In a state of shock, the child took advantage of the fact a woman was nearby and began to swim quickly towards land.
Arriving on land, the little girl revealed what she had experienced to her parents and burst into tears. Panic immediately ensued, and the parents demanded an explanation from the man.
After a police investigation, it turned out that the perpetrator was a 30-year-old Egyptian who had been working in Crete for the last two years. He claimed that he would molest the child since he is the father of two young children who are in Egypt and sends them money.
In his testimony, he added that if he wanted to harm the 12-year-old, he would not have done it on a beach that is full of people.
The 30-year-old was found guilty of the charge of sexual indecency and given an eight-month suspended prison sentence. He appealed against the conviction.
