Asked how long these incidents have been going on, Kardoulia noted that “as far as we know, there are complaints that what they are describing was going on up to ten years ago”, while, as she said, “an internal investigation (EDE) started two years ago when there were also written complaints”.

According to Ms. Kardoulia, “in the context of an assignment, he even commented on the bust of a student”, while as she stressed “sending him a photo with sexual content was a prerequisite to passing the course”, with Ms. Georgakopoulou adding that he requested students for such photos as part of the exercise.
