52 y.o Greek priest uses Facebook to make sexual advances on minor

He travelled to Greece to convince 15-year-old girl to follow him abroad

A 52-year old Orthodox priest is facing investigations after making sexual advances to a 15-year old girl from Larissa, Greece. The priest, who according to reports serves in a parish outside Greece, met the minor through Facebook, and what started out as an innocent friendship in April with comments on various issues, gradually turned into a sexual attraction on his part for the 15-year old student. The priest, who used his real name on his Facebook profile, started messaging the young girl indecent images and making clear sexual advances and suggestions to the minor. His obsession with the girl resulted in him traveling to Larissa in an effort to persuade the her to abandon her home and follow him abroad. The girl’s parents were able to notice a change in her behaviour and discovered what was going on, while she had also informed them on the matter once it had got out of hand. They immediately went to the Greek police and pressed charges against the 52-year old.
