Four and three-year suspended prison sentences for the two perpetrators of the revenge porn case involving Ioanna Touni.

The two defendants in the revenge porn case with victim Ioanna Touni were found guilty by the Three-Member Court of Appeal for Felonies in Thessaloniki.

They are her then-partner, who appears in the video in question, and the individual who, according to the indictment, is alleged to have filmed it. The first was sentenced to four years in prison, while the second—who was granted the mitigating circumstance of a previously lawful life—received a three-year sentence, suspended for three years. The court ruled that their appeal would have a suspensive effect on the execution of the sentence.

According to reports—since the trial was held behind closed doors until the prosecutor’s address—the two defendants denied both filming and distributing the material.

Earlier, the prosecutor had also recommended that both be found guilty, stressing that they jointly possessed the video and photos, which constituted personal data files that they copied, stored, and, instead of deleting, used and shared on social media, where the victim’s identity was visible. In addition, they uploaded them online without consent with the aim of brutally violating her personality. “They wanted to boast that they had done something with her because she is well-known,” she said.

The prosecutor made particular reference to the vulgar comments posted under the video and the two photos, which reached an unspecified number of viewers. She also noted that in the seconds recorded by the second defendant on his mobile phone during the sexual act, the first defendant turns and looks at him, while the use of flash and the framing show that they were not strangers. She added that Ioanna Touni could not have been aware that the act was being recorded.

Concluding her address, the prosecutor emphasized that it was Ioanna Touni who received a flood of negative, vulgar, and offensive comments targeting her personality and morality—not the defendant who appeared in the same video. “Given the nature of Greek society, the victim received a barrage of humiliating comments, not the defendants. For some, it was even perceived as a display of male bravado,” she said, among other remarks.

The case came to light in 2020, when Ioanna Touni filed a complaint against two men, accusing them of violating personal data and illegally distributing material depicting her private moments.

The video is alleged to have been recorded in 2017 and circulated online years later, triggering a massive wave of publicity and causing significant moral harm to her.

Ioanna Touni had spoken openly about her experience on social media, describing the psychological pressure and public exposure she endured.
