A 52-year-old gynecologist has been brought before a prosecutor after being charged with possessing a large number of files depicting child sexual abuse and uploading them to an online storage platform. The doctor, based in Attica, was arrested by the Greek Police — specifically by officers from the Cybercrime Division — on Thursday, October 8. The arrest followed an investigation that uncovered hundreds of files. According to Greek Police, the crucial tip-off came from the US-based international organization National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), in the form of an official notification. The organization had reportedly identified and flagged an internet user who had uploaded child sexual abuse material to an online storage service. A digital analysis and online investigation conducted by Cybercrime Division officers followed, ultimately leading to the identification of the 52-year-old and the location of his residence.

Police searched the gynecologist’s home and office
On the afternoon of Thursday, October 8, police officers carried out searches at both the suspect’s residence and his professional premises, where they located and seized a mobile phone, a computer hard drive, a laptop, a tablet, and a microSD memory card. The investigation revealed, according to Greek Police, that the 52-year-old had been managing the online account to which the material had been uploaded. Additionally, hundreds of locally stored photo and video files containing child sexual abuse material were discovered on the seized devices.
Of particular concern is the fact that, according to police findings, the material depicts minors who are clearly under the age of 15, including children under the age of 12. Following these findings, the 52-year-old was arrested under flagrante delicto proceedings and brought before the competent prosecutorial authority. The seized digital evidence has been forwarded to the Forensic Investigations Division for laboratory examination. Sources indicate, however, that the production of original child pornography material has not yet been confirmed.
