The metropolitan area of ​​Kolonos was shocked by the arrest of men who are accused of sexual harassment of a minor and pimping.

A 53-year-old man, a well-known shop owner in the area and a respected family man, allegedly “sold” a 12-year-old girl for amounts ranging from 50 to 70 euros, arranging a meeting near the metro station in Sepoli, just 300 meters from the square in which he runs his business. It should be noted that the area around the metro station on a certain road leading to the national highway is considered a “panel” for prostitutes and pimps, is not well lit at night and is not particularly crowded.

The little girl, according to information available at the moment, helped the man in his shop on the main street of Kolonos, just a few meters from Lenormand street.
