Silence seems to be slowly breaking in Cyprus regarding sexual harassment and abuse, mainly of women by men in power / key positions. A few days ago, an old story of a woman who was sexually abused by a high-ranking priest came to life again. She is the same woman who had spoken in 2011 to Elita Michailidou (SIGMA) about being raped by a senior clergyman. The case was then silenced with the intervention of the Archbishop, however the woman returned last week with a new complaint, which, however, immediately leaked to some media. A second woman who had been sexually harassed by the same priest spoke to “P” after the mediation of Elita Michailidou, when he told her that he did not want to go to the Police for personal reasons, but also reasons that have to do with lack of trust and name leaks. , deposits, etc. The questions do not matter, so we quote only the story of the woman, for whom we have her full name and details of her identity, but we maintain her anonymity as is her wish.
More about the issue in the printed version of “P” and for the subscribers of POLITIS PREMIUM the digital version of the newspaper in PDF at the same time with its printed circulation daily from 05.00 in the morning.
