Parental Warning
Seven rapes have been reported on the Greek island of Zakynthos so far this year, and one of the alleged rape victims and her mother now face time in jail. The victim, a 15-year-old girl, faces up to six months in jail for misleading police by initially denying she knew her alleged attacker then admitting she did. The girl says she gave conflicting statements because she was "scared and embarrassed." And her mother faces up to a year in jail for "neglecting the supervision of a minor" for allowing the girl to go dancing with friends.
