Sexual harassment
Detention of Mika Aleksić extended - so that he would not be able to repeat the crime
The pre-trial judge extended his detention with a rationale that he would not be able to repeat the crime in a short period of time, as well as due to public disturbance and the punishment he's threatened for the crime he is charged with.
Aleksic and his lawyer can appeal this decision to the criminal out-of-court panel of the court, the High Court announced.
Aleksic questioned in the prosecution, he was reported by five girls
He was questioned due to the reports of five other girls who subsequently reported him for sexual abuse.
After the hearing, the prosecution extended the investigation against him to new crimes and new victims.
His lawyer, Zoran Jakovljevic, confirmed that Aleksic had been questioned, but did not want to give other details, noting that "there is nothing spectacular".
