VATICAN CITY, July 11 (UPI) — A former Roman Catholic archbishop accused of sexually abusing boys was hospitalized in intensive care Saturday, the day his trial was to start.
Jozef Wesolowski, 66, the highest-ranking former Vatican official arrested on child sexual abuse allegations, was admitted for an “unexpected illness.” It is unclear when the trial will resume. He has already been found guilty by a church tribunal and defrocked.
Wesolowski is the first to be tried at the Vatican on such charges. If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
