A 67-year-old horse-riding instructor from Germany has been remanded in custody in Thessaloniki, Greece, following serious allegations of sexual abuse and harassment involving underage female students. He faces charges of rape and sexual exploitation of minors, with court documents detailing accusations from four girls, including one who reported being raped.

The alleged incidents reportedly took place last year, prompting legal action against the instructor. Despite his denial of the charges during testimony, judicial authorities found the evidence compelling enough to order his pretrial detention.

The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of minors in sports and educational environments, as authorities take a firm stance on allegations of sexual misconduct.
