A new complaint about a former student’s theatrical space comes to light Arsakeiou that according 2020mag A journalist from the website was contacted “on Sunday morning, after the rapid evolution of the last few days.

According to the journalist Costas Kostakos, she transmitted her testimony “clarifying that her data is at my disposal, but I will not reveal it, unless she wishes it herself.”

The following is the testimony:

In the 1990-91 school year I was a student at the 2nd Lyceum in Arsakeio Psychiko. In the context of uploading a school play (“The Fate of Lettuce” by Dimitris Koromilas), I met …, whom the Directorate of our school assigned to edit the play. I participated in the show and from rehearsals I began to notice a very intense focus … on me. I was 16 years old, and unlike other girls my age and my classmates, I was not what we call a physically fit woman, but a girl. Once, at the end of the school day, he asked me to come talk to a nearby park. There we sat on a bench, where he began to tell me things that confused me a lot emotionally: he recited poems to me, he told me about his childhood and his relationship with his family, he told me that he sees me as Laura in “Glass World” and himself as Tom He told me that I was special, he told me that I was not like the others (he said it with contempt for the other girls). He told me that he and I were the same. He told me he loved me. In the end he gave me his home address and said that he would like us to come to his house at that time, but he had a show. Then he greeted me and hugged me. In the following months he repeated his proposal to go home several times, because “he loved me.” It bothered him that I refused to do it, but he insisted. He was extremely shy, which, in hindsight, I think was crucial in concentrating on my face, on the control he tried to exert over me, on the pressure to go home alone. At a school party, he took me to the back of the roof so the other students wouldn’t see us, he hugged me very tightly, he kissed me on the neck, he told me that he would love me forever and that he would go find him. He was trying to get into my mind, I had gotten too confused. He had left me alone, he was trying to make me feel unique, he said incredible things to convince me, to be able to go to his house. I feel lucky that I finally refused to go, but even so, what I report from time to time in the form of rumors and what now comes to light makes me wonder how many other children and young people have found themselves in my place and sadly in much worse position than mine. My initial thought was to speak of all this by name, but ultimately I feel like I don’t have the mental strength to face it. I’m afraid I’m no exception.
