Poland’s Prosecutor to visit highland town where priest abused minors

Santo Domingo.- Polish Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet will visit six Dominican families whose under-age members were victims of sexual abuse by priest Polish pries Wojciech Gil (Padre Alberto).

Seremet and other Poland officials will visit midweek the highland town of Juncalito, Santiago province, where Gil molested at least six minors who were his altar boys when he was parish priest from 2008 to 2013, according to a statement from the Dominican Justice Ministry.

Gil, 37, was sentenced 25 March by a Polish court to a reduced sentence of seven years in prison for violations against six Dominican minors and two Poles.

The Justice Ministry said Seremet and Dominican authorities plan to sign a legal cooperation agreement between the two countries this week.
