The student
However, according to the people who saw the indictment in the first lawsuit, there is a specific description by the victim of a scene that took place at the principal’s residence. In addition to the then 15-year-old Vassilis, a minor student from Arsakeio also participated, whom he met there when he entered the Lignadis residence. His description is shocking for what he experienced all that time and this day.
“For 4 years he abused me and was very manipulative. When I turned 31, I realized that they were abusing me. We were in no way a couple and we were not in a relationship. We rarely saw each other and when we saw each other he was in his home. As I spent time with him, he began to suggest that I have sex with other people, with other students. Usually, I remember one time when I walked into his house and a younger student of hers was inside. And he told me : “Let the three of us do something.” I reply and say, “I don’t do those things.” I refused, then he took the girl and took her to his room. Then he came back naked and said: “The girl is waiting in the room. “I panicked, froze, and said,” I can’t do this. “Then he walks in and has sex with his underage student out loud. I remember panicking and telling myself that I had than to leave home. It seemed like a century to find the strength and get out of his apartment. “ According to the information, this young woman is the daughter of a university acquaintance and at that time she was a minor, but it is unknown whether she will file a complaint against the well-known director.
What will the two young men say?
As for the two boys who approached Vassilis’ 40-year-old lawyer, Maria KourtesiBoth spoke with her alone and described in detail what they lived in the famous actor’s house for hours. Both young men recalled in detail the furniture and decoration of the house, while their impending testimony to the prosecutor is seen as a catalyst in the case.
This is because immediately after them, but also with the new lawsuit, after the prosecutor studies them, Dimitris Lignadis will be called to give explanations and refute any misconduct or criminal accusation that may arise at the discretion of the court clerk. However, no one, except himself and his lawyer, knows if the actor-director will testify about what he is accused or if he will send a memorandum, if of course he is called. His resignation from the National Theater for personal reasons is still being discussed, especially for the word “personal.”
Descriptions and students
Through his lawyer, he denied from the beginning any accusation made against him for rumors and official allegations -two so far- but also what came to light for his participation even in a network of trafficking in minors for the purpose of sexual exploitation. , so “he was photographed”, but without being named. However, the descriptions of Nikos S. and Vassilis cause shock to the renowned actor, director and teacher of acting in schools and drama schools. The one who was expelled in 2016 from the “Iasmos” theater school after complaints and protests by students about his behavior in class and his intense sexual complaints. At the time, about 30 students regularly attended the director’s course, who, in addition to ancient drama and poetry, also discussed sexual content “related to sexual searches and experiences,” they said. It was something that especially bothered the students, who transmitted it to the owner of the school, Stavros Amoutza-Delli, asking him to take measures to stop this phenomenon. Officials eventually asked Dimitris Lignadis to leave, according to the son of “Iasmos” owner George Amoutzas and actress and high school graduate Artemis Asteriadis, who both spoke with “THEMA.”
The passions and the cyclone
“I remember that Mr. Lignadis left school with a decision from the administration. I remember that most of the students, including me, had a problem with their behavior, as what he said about sexual experiences in class was a bit strange. “I would characterize his behavior as inappropriate in some places, a fact that did not go unnoticed, on the contrary, it annoyed the school officials, so they asked him to end their cooperation”, He said Mrs. Asteriadis. The French philosopher Bernard Le Beauvoir de Fontainebleau He wrote that passions create and destroy everything, a phrase that fits perfectly with what Dimitris Lignadis has been living for days and with everything that little by little is seeing the light of publicity in the theater, where he grew up, for many , to the former actor-director, who is now in the vortex of a cyclone, a cyclone that contains rumors, truths, stories that you can not believe and even unrecognized secrets, which are very difficult to bring to light at victims. The name of Dimitris Lignadis has been discussed and heard since the first day of the shocking case of complaints, when Spyros Bibilas said the great doom would be done when the boys talk. Now, according to what follows in the following days, some boys have made the decision to testify in Justice what happened to the man who supposedly crushed their soul and body in the hardest way.
