波兰的Andrzej Je主教因据称未报告虐待牧师事件而受审,这标志着波兰第一个高级教会刑事案件。
Polish Bishop Andrzej Jeż stands trial for allegedly failing to report priest abuse, marking first high-level church criminal case in Poland.
波兰主教Andrzej Je于2026年2月接受审判,成为波兰第一位面临刑事指控的高级教会官员,因为据称他未报告在其领导下的牧师对儿童进行性虐待。
Polish Bishop Andrzej Jeż went on trial in February 2026, becoming the first high-ranking church official in Poland to face criminal charges for allegedly failing to report child sexual abuse by priests under his authority.
尽管收到可信指控,耶日被指控拖延通知执法部门,他声称是在理解法律职责后采取行动。
Accused of delaying notifications to law enforcement despite receiving credible allegations, Jeż claims he acted once he understood his legal duty.
这个案件源于2017年要求立即报告虐待情况的法律, 标志着波兰天主教会的一个关键时刻,
The case, rooted in a 2017 law requiring immediate reporting of abuse, marks a pivotal moment in Poland’s Catholic Church, long shielded from legal accountability.
检察官辩称拖延违反了法律,而Je如果被定罪,将面临长达三年的监禁。
Prosecutors argue the delay violated the law, while Jeż faces up to three years in prison if convicted.
审判反映了公众对透明度和司法日益增长的要求,特别是在2019年一份报告揭露1990年至2018年波兰牧师受到382起虐待投诉之后。
The trial reflects growing public demand for transparency and justice, especially after a 2019 report revealed 382 abuse complaints against Polish priests from 1990 to 2018.
