Greek Sport Faces More Scrutiny 01/27/21
(ATR) The spotlight put on Greek sailing by Olympic champion Sofia Bekatorou’s sexual abuse claims is helping to uncover more cases.
A Greek sailing coach accused of raping an 11-year-old athlete was arrested on Sunday, according to the Athens News Agency. The 38-year-old unidentified man is believed to have committed the offense nine years ago.
Bekatorou had given evidence to prosecutors on this case last week. Unlike her own case, this one is still within the statute of limitations allowed by Greek law.
Bekatorou turned the world of Greek sports upside down by revealing during a virtual conference called “Speak Up” that she had been raped by the Vice-President of the Hellenic Sailing Federation (HSF) in 1998. The incident occurred in Spain, where Bekatorou had just qualified for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
