Disgraced Greek actor Petros Filippidis has been charged with one count of rape and two counts of attempted rape following accusations by three different women who worked with him professionally in the past.
The allegations were made by three actresses – Anna Maria Haralambous, Penelope Anastasopoulou and Lena Drosaki – and concern an incident of alleged rape in 2008 and two more attempted rape allegations dating back to 2010 and 2014.
The actresses had initially appealed to the disciplinary board of the Association of Greek Actors, and their testimonies formed the basis of the current legal case against the accused actor.
Mr Fillippidis has denied all charges.
