A Polish court has sentenced a Roman Catholic priest to seven years in prison after finding him guilty of sexually abusing underage boys.
The court in the western Polish city of Wroclaw also ordered the 44-year-old priest, identified only as Pawel K., to undergo psychological treatment and prohibited him from working with young people for the rest of his life.
The judge, Maciej Skorniak, described the priest as a “seductive, provocative and dangerous type” during court proceedings.
Pawel K. was arrested in a hotel in Wroclaw in December 2012 when he was checking in with a teenage boy, arousing suspicion among the hotel workers.
The priest, however, did not admit to any wrongdoing.
