The case of child pornography and incest that shocked the entire country and the local community was tried before the Mixed Jury Court (MOD) in Larissa, the child pornography and incest case that shocked the entire country and the local community of Volos when it came to light in July 2025.
A 52-year-old mother has been remanded in custody in connection with the case; she sexually abused her underage daughter and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with no stay of execution pending appeal, so she was sent to prison. The 52-year-old admitted to everything and told the court that she had been guided by a third party because she needed the money. The court, which convicted her unanimously, did not recognize any mitigating circumstances.
The minor also faced serious health problems, and her mother, in 2022 (when she was nine years old), left her at an orphanage for a time because she could not afford to support her. When she returned home, following a major campaign by charitable organizations and the funds that were raised, she endured a nightmare, as she began to be forced into lewd acts that the 52-year-old woman videotaped and then sold.
According to gegonota.news, she underwent blood transfusions (she has sickle cell anemia) every 20 days and lived at home without electricity or water, while she often lacked food as well.
The mother herself told Gegonota in January 2022: “The debt to the Public Power Corporation (DEI) is 10,000 euros and to the Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company (DEYAMB) 2,650 euros. Since 2014, no payment plan has been honored, and the debt has skyrocketed. I can work as a seamstress from home and take care of my child at the same time. I can do whatever work is needed. We have to make a living, and all I’m asking is to work,” she said before she began exploiting her child in the most sickening and brutal way. The 52-year-old was charged with the production, distribution, offering, sale, supply, and possession of child pornography involving a minor.
The Revelation
The case came to light earlier this year when a member of the public found the woman’s cell phone, which she had lost in the Palaios neighborhood. While attempting to unlock it to see who it belonged to, he reportedly came across photographs containing child pornography and immediately turned it over to the Hellenic Police.
Subsequently, after police officers identified the device’s owner, a warrant was issued by the Volos Misdemeanor Court, and a search was conducted; nine photographs depicting the sexual abuse of her underage daughter were found on the device.
Greek Police officers raided her home in the presence of a judicial officer, where they found another cell phone containing similar photographs, stored on a cloud server.
The “loving mother” was charged with sexual acts with a minor under the age of 12, as well as with sexual acts between blood relatives, both ascending and descending lines. All of the acts are alleged to have been committed on a continuous basis.
She also produced and possessed at least 17 photographs of a sexual nature, in which she and the child appear, though their faces are not visible in all of them. It should be noted that the minor has returned to the orphanage and did not testify at the trial.
