A well-known theater actor-director convicted of two counts of rape of a minor by an Athens court on Wednesday walked free a few hours later, after a 4-3 vote by a mixed panel of judges and jurors suspended his 12-year sentence .

Today, as scheduled, the evidentiary process is expected to begin before the Mixed Jury Court where the former head of the National Theater, Dimitris Lignadis, is being tried for raping three minors and an adult man.

An investigating magistrate and the public prosecutor investigating the charges of child rape and molestation against former National Theatre artistic director and actor Dimitris Lignadis ruled early on Friday that he should be held in custody until trial.
