Prague, Oct 12 (CTK) – Erik Tvrdon, former priest from Havlickuv Brod, east Bohemia, will spend three years in prison for sexual abuse of four women and an underage girl, Nova TV reported yesterday, referring to the appeals court verdict reducing his original five-year sentence.
The appeals court upheld the lower-lever court’s previous decision to ban Tvrdon from working with children for five years.
The police started to investigate Tvrdon based on a report from one of the abused women, who said he had exerted psychological pressure on her from mid-2012 and repeatedly raped her in late 2013.
The police subsequently found the other victims.
