In the Gülüç town of the Ereğli district, a municipal employee named Duygu K. filed a complaint last year, claiming that the Mayor Gökhan Mustafa Demirtaş had harassed her. A lawsuit was filed against Demirtaş for the crimes of 'sexual harassment and sexual assault at the level of harassment.'

Demirtaş, who was re-elected as mayor in the local elections on March 31, denied the allegations during the fifth hearing of the case he was tried without arrest at the Ereğli 5th Criminal Court of First Instance in May, claiming that the incident was a political setup. The court sentenced Demirtaş to 3 years, 1 month, and 15 days in prison for 'sexual assault by harassment.' He was also sentenced to 10 months in prison for the crime of sexual harassment.

THE COURT OF APPEALS REJECTED THE APPEAL

Demirtaş's lawyers appealed the decision and took the case to the court of appeals. The court stated, "It has been understood that there is no violation of law regarding the procedure and substance in the court's decision, based on the trial conducted, the evidence presented at the decision place, the court's findings in accordance with the investigation results, and the content of the examined file," and decided to reject the application.

Thus, the prison sentence given by the Ereğli 5th Criminal Court of First Instance has become final. After the decision became final, a warrant was issued for Demirtaş, who was captured and detained by the police in Eskişehir yesterday.
