ATHENS, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) Greece is set to toughen the penalties for sexual offences and will launch a special website for reporting abuse in the wake of the Greek #MeToo Movement, which started in mid-January, when allegations from an Olympic sailing champion surfaced of sexual abuse committed by a former sporting official. We must further strengthen our legal arsenal for the just punishment of those guilty of past and present crimes, but above all in order to prevent the crimes of the future, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in Parliament on Thursday.
