Greek police have arrested a 42-year-old film producer and actor in adult films, accused of running a human trafficking network that exploited dozens of women, including minors, according to MEGA TV.
Known by the nickname “Kondos” (the Short One), the suspect allegedly targeted economically vulnerable young women by promising them opportunities in entertainment. Once he gained their trust, he subjected them to sexual violence, intimidation, and forced prostitution.
According to police, between 2016 and 2022 he allegedly raped, drugged, and forced at least five women into prostitution. Among them was a minor, whom he first met while she briefly worked at his store in Glyfada.
The man, who describes himself as a former porn actor and businessman, sought to portray himself as a “legitimate producer.”
Abuse and Coercion
Victims told police that the man physically and psychologically abused them, supplied them with drugs, and forced them to have sex with up to ten clients a day, often recording the encounters. He also founded an adult film production company, compelling victims to participate in pornographic films from which he profited.
One survivor, who first met him at age 16, told MEGA TV that he lent her money and then trapped her in a cycle of threats and violence.
“He stalked me, threatened to hurt my family, and beat me until I did what he wanted. At 16 he raped me, and it continued for years,” she said.
The victim added that he sold her to clients for €500–€600 an hour, advertising her as underage to drive-up prices, while she herself received no more than €80 per encounter. He also began supplying her with drugs when she was 17.
Elite Clients and Secret Parties
According to police, the suspect organized appointments and luxury villa parties in Ekali and Glyfada, attended by businessmen from Greece and abroad. He allegedly coordinated bookings through a website he controlled.
Police Investigation and Arrest
The Greek police’s special investigative unit had been monitoring the suspect for months before his arrest. Five victims eventually filed formal complaints, enabling prosecutors to build a case.
The accused no stranger to law enforcement. He has been arrested four times on charges relating to child pornography and pimping, but each time was acquitted and continued his activities.
The 42-year-old now faces charges of human trafficking, rape, and drug distribution. He has been referred to an investigative magistrate and is now in custody.
He has denied the charges against him, insisting that the women who came forward are lying and motivated by revenge over financial disputes.
“The accusations against me are false. There are contracts proving our professional relationship. The women received a percentage of sales, and because that wasn’t enough for them, they fabricated this conspiracy to get back at me,” the 42-year-old told authorities.
Authorities continue to look for other potential victims.
Minister’s Lawsuit
Adding to the case, Minister for Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis filed a lawsuit against the suspect. The producer had allegedly intimidated victims by claiming to be a friend of Chrysochoidis, a statement the minister denounced as false.
Human trafficking remains a serious issue in Greece, often linked to organized crime and the adult entertainment industry. Authorities have pledged stricter measures and support for victims in recent years.
