Trial of coach who allegedly raped 11-year-old in 2010 comes after Olympic champion spoke out on abuse
The landmark trial of a Greek sailing coach accused of raping a minor has opened in Athens, a year after an Olympic champion effectively launched the MeToo movement in the country by speaking out about her experiences.
The case is one of many that came to light after Sofia Bekatorou, a former Olympic sailing gold medal winner, broke the taboo on speaking out on such matters in December 2020.
