Criminal investigations into digital sexual offenses in Greece involve two distinct cases.

In Attica, a 52-year-old gynecologist and midwife was arrested by the Cybercrime Division following information from Google and the U.S.-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Authorities seized electronic devices from his residence and medical practice, reportedly finding hundreds of files containing sexual abuse material of minors. The suspect admitted to possessing the material, claiming it was for ‘personal use’.

In Grevena, a 68-year-old priest faces allegations of revenge porn and domestic threats from a 43-year-old former partner, an iconographer from Larissa. The complainant reported that the priest threatened to release nude photographs of her if she ended their relationship. While the priest acknowledges the relationship, he denies the intent to use private material for revenge and has raised counterclaims regarding a 14,000-euro financial dispute involving icon painting commissions.

The Holy Metropolis of Grevena has relieved the cleric of his administrative duties. In a televised interview, the priest claimed he had developed deep feelings for the woman and alleged she had been unfaithful, while also acknowledging his actions were not faithful to his wife. The trial, originally scheduled for October 16, has been postponed to October 29, 2026, following a request from his lawyer due to the priest undergoing medical treatment after an attempted suicide.
