Lignadis resigned from his position after sexual abuse statements by minors against him became public. Shortly after, he was arrested, charged and convicted with serial rape of minors but let free due to alleged high connections with government officials.[1]

Sexual abuse allegations and arrest

Main article: International response to the MeToo movement § Greece

In February 2021, various sexual abuse allegations against Lignadis became public; some of them by minors. Lignadis resigned from his position on February 6, 2021.[6]

Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni called Lignadis a "dangerous person" and that "he deceived the Ministry", a statement met with serious backlash from many artists and the Hellenic Actors Union.[7]

Lignadis was eventually arrested and charged with four counts of rape and was placed in pre-trial detention. In July 2022 he was found guilty for two rapes of two -then- minors and was sentenced to serve 12 years in jail. The Court also decided to release him from jail on parole until his appeal hearing takes place. The decision of setting free was taken by a 4-3 majority.

Counter turn

Figure skating element Counter turn diagram A counter turn is a kind of one-foot turn in figure skating. Unlike three turns and brackets, where the entry and exit edges follow the same curve, in a counter the entry and exit are on opposite curves. When executing a counter, the skater turns outward to the curve of the entry edge, and exits on a curve in the same sense as the turn. Another way to look at it is that a counter is similar to the entry of a bracket turn combined with the exit of a ...
