Court: Bishop did not notify law enforcement about the pedophilic acts of priests

The prosecution seeks a suspended 10-month prison sentence and a fine for Bishop Jeż, who is accused of failing to report sexual abuse by priests. This is the first trial in Poland concerning a bishop's handling of pedophilia allegations. The bishop denies the charges, claiming he only learned of the abuse when the case was reported to authorities. A legal amendment mandates immediate reporting of such crimes, with penalties of up to three years in prison for non-compliance.
