A warrant was issued against a client charged with several serious offences: sexual contact (Section 151 of the Criminal Code), solicitation of sexual contact (Section 152 of the Criminal Code), sexual assault causing bodily injuries and threats of death or bodily injuries (Section 264(1)a)(2)a) of the Criminal Code). The actions subject to charges supposedly took place over a period of about 7 years. The Prosecutor asked the Judge to keep the defendant detained during legal procedures.
Criminal lawyer Christos Karteris asked the Judge to release the defendant, on the grounds that the latter did not constitute a danger for society, would show up in court when required and that it was not a case about which society would be shocked by release from detention. He had his client testify to support this claim and then pleaded the jurisprudence. After studying the case, the Judge granted the client release on bail.
Not all Mr Karteris’s clients are released. See notice.
