Child grooming

A 38-year-old martial arts coach was remanded Wednesday in the northern port city of Thessaloniki after his testimony on charges of rape and sexual abuse involving three underage female students.

The accusations, made last year, involve continuous harassment from March 2022 to June 2023.

“The bill that liberals inaccurately call “Don’t Say Gay” would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill”

Wider access to technology among young people is giving way to increasing cybercrime, including online grooming, which specifically targets vulnerable children, according to a social media expert.

A 26-year-old man from Attica has been remanded in custody for allegedly peddling child pornography over the internet and for the attempted grooming of minors.

He was arrested last week after the mother of one of the victims filed a complaint with police claiming that an unknown individual had convinced her underaged son to send photos of himself.

New offences and tougher penalties targeting live-streamed child abuse and online grooming were announced in Australia Tuesday in a bid to crack down on the growing role of technology in pedophilia.

British Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said “political and cultural sensitivities” must not get in the way of uncovering child sex abuse amid calls to review offences that are racially aggravated.

A survivor of a Muslim grooming gang in Rotherham said she reported being raped when she was 13 years old, but authorities did nothing and told her not to mention the ethnicity of the attackers.

A bill updating Greece’s laws against child pornography and sexual abuse that will include offenses such as grooming via social media was approved on Wednesday by five of the parliamentary parties.
