The woman has learning difficulties, and council officials have claimed there is evidence her current mental health means she no longer has the capacity to make decisions about sexual consent.

Beautiful Ghost Town in Greece to Get New Life (video)

The story of the people of Vamvakou, a village in the Lakonia region in the Peloponnese, is truly fascinating by any measure. But the story of the village’s revival may be an even greater one, as local people are attempting to resurrect the village and bring it back to vibrant life.

Once a picturesque, lively, historic town on the slopes of Mount Parnon, as a result of emigration Vamvakou had turned into a ghost town in the new millennium; as of 2008 there were only nine residents left in town.
