A woman was allegedly raped while waiting at a bus stop on Poseidonos avenue at night after she was forced at knife-point to follow the culprit to a nearby park.

The woman, 34, described her terrifying ordeal to the police after initially mustering up the courage to call the emergency police response unit (100) following the sexual assault.

According to information from protothema.gr, the perpetrator saw the woman waiting alone, approached her, and threatened her with a knife, before leading her to a nearby park. There, he removed her clothes and then raped her. After the act, he reportedly stood up and in an ironic tone said to the 34-year-old “do you want to be my girlfriend?”.

The girl put on her clothes in fear, picked up her bag, and returned to the bus stop, where a young man was waiting for the bus, but she did not ask him for help because she was embarrassed, as she told the police. The rapist followed her and had the audacity to go up to her and ask for her mobile number. The girl refused and then the perpetrator threatened to kill her if she told the police and ran away.

When he was far enough away, the 34-year-old called Immediate Action and reported the rape. She then went to the Paleao Faliro Security Department and filed a lawsuit.

She described the characteristics of the perpetrator, who spoke Greek well, was short-haired, stout, and about 1.70 tall. In photographs shown to her, the victim did not recognise her rapist.
