The co-host of the popular comedy TV Show “Radio Arvyla’, Stathis Panagiotopoulos is facing criminal charges for a felony after a female with who he had sexual relations in the past made an official complaint to police alleging he had posted their sexual encounters on the internet. The accused has been remanded and will spend Christmas in prison.

The high-profile case has rocked the Greek entertainment and the Greek public, while according to information, in the next few hours, two more girls will testify against him. These are two women who allegedly identified themselves in an explicit video posted on the internet by the suspect.

Until his case comes before a court hearing, the 58-year-old will spend Christmas in the detention centre of the General Police Directorate of Thessaloniki as he asked for and received a deadline to present his formal defence on Monday morning at 10.

Earlier today, he arrived at the prosecutor’s office where he made a deposition for less than an hour. In his testimony, he allegedly denied that he was making money from the videos that he shot with the protagonists, while he stressed that he had taken down the specific videos from the internet three years ago.

The prosecutor, however, was not convinced by his claims and charged him for the crime of “disclosing personal data concerning the sexual life of natural persons, continuously, with the intent to harm another”.

As Apostolos Lytras, lawyer of one of the women who reported Stathis Panagiotopoulos stated to protothema.gr, the presenter’s claim about the time the videos were taken down is not valid, while he called on any woman in possession of similar material to file a complaint.
