Simon Gjoka

The Lezha Court has sentenced Simon Gjoka , 38 years old from Milot , to 12 years in prison for sexual abuse of a minor girl.

Initially, Gjoka was arrested for cattle theft, and during the investigation it was discovered that he had had a relationship with an underage girl.

The prosecution requested his sentence of 18 years in prison, but taking advantage of the reduction of 1/3 of the sentence for summary judgment, Gjoka will serve 12 years in prison for the charges of "theft committed in collaboration" and "sexual relations with minors."

The defendant denied the charges, but was ultimately found guilty of both offenses by the Court.

In the testimony of the 13-year-old girl, taken in the presence of her mother and psychologist, she admitted that she had a relationship with the 38-year-old and that everything had happened " on purpose ", as stated in the investigation.

She added that Gjoka had introduced her to other people, which raised suspicions of exploitation for prostitution.

Intimate photos were found on the minor's phone that had been sent to the defendant, who had a friendly relationship with her mother, a woman who sold candles near the " Shna Ndout " church in Laç.

Simon Gjoka was arrested in February 2025, after investigations revealed that he was involved in the theft of cattle in the village of Gajush and is suspected of several other thefts in the surrounding areas.

During the wiretapping of his phone, police found compromising communications with the minor, which subsequently led to the expansion of the investigation and the filing of a second charge.
