The case of the Polish priest who served in the community of Juncalito, Santiago for several years has been referred to a district court in Wolomin, 12 miles east of Warsaw, according to the public prosecutor’s office in the Polish capital.
As reported, the priest stands accused of 10 offences, eight of which relate to sexual abuse of boys under the age of 15.
“Two acts were committed in 2000-2001 in Poland, the others at various times over the years 2009-2013 in the Dominican Republic,” said Przemyslaw Nowak, spokesman for the Polish judiciary.
He said that the priest is also accused of possession of pornographic material involving minors, a firearm and ammunition without the necessary permits.
“We have ample evidence in this case, including the testimonies of over 100 witnesses, and over a dozen reports by experts,” he noted.
Father Wojciech Gil could face 15 years in jail for the case.
This is the second high profile child abuse case connecting Poland and the DR, with the first involving the former papal nuncio to the Dominican Republic, Josef Wesolowski whose case is being heard in the Vatican.
