I am Panayiota's husband. I met Panayiota in Boston when she was first sent to the station in Boston's North End. This was the same time that Panayiota was being evaluated by the USCG and questioned by the USCG legal department. I witnessed some shocking events that to this day even give me nightmares. For one, I was a witness when Panayiota met with the USCG legal department, I sat there as this person grilled her and intimidated her out of testifying against her attacker. Threats like we will attack your character and will keep you on the stand for over 5 hours questioning you were made. Let's rewind...shortly before meeting with the legal team Panayiota showed me her evidence which was a letter of admission from her attacker at Station Burlington. It was a hand written letter that her attacker slipped under her door to her barrack. That letter was never seen again after turned into the USCG. Fast forward many years later and many people have come forward with stories in all branches of the military similar to Panayiota's. All you need to do is a simple google search and you will find them. Now, sure Greg (I wont call him Mr. Marsilli) has a clean record....because thats how the corrupt system works, what would happen if the USCG admitted what happened? Imagine the fallout from that. So good luck with your harbormaster. I personally cannot wait for a time when an outside agency investigates rape in the military instead of the commanding offers or anyone in the military. So in closing please educate yourself before publishing such an irresponsible article. I'm now going to console my wife as I have for seven years because she cant sleep, loses motivation, and has constant ptsd episodes due to her rape and the way Greg handled this situation.
