[A] study showed that most of the Greek women just coming into prostitution are between the ages of 17 and 20.
The study comes after a shocking report last month of an unemployed Greek mother pimping her 12-year-old daughter to a priest and a retired man for money. The mother, 44, was sentenced to 33 years in prison and fined 100,000 euros ($106,153), the paper said. The Greek media dubbed the woman “monster mom,” and the country was outraged by the case.
Laxos said last month’s widely publicized incident — and his study — “reflects a society in denial about the changes taking place” in Greece.
“State authorities must finally act rather than continuing to remain indifferent,” he warned.
