Workers in the Polish city of Gdansk dismantle statue of late Solidarity-era priest Henryk Jankowski following allegations he sexually abused minors.
WARSAW, Poland — Workers in the Polish city of Gdansk dismantled Friday a statue of the late Solidarity-era priest, Henryk Jankowski, following allegations he sexually abused minors.
A crane took the metal figure off its stone base and put it on a truck that drove the statue away to a storage place. Jankowski’s critics are calling for the allegations to be examined. Questions over Jankowski resurfaced last year when at least two people alleged to Polish media that they were abused as minors. A previous investigation into allegations that Jankowski sexually abused young boys was stopped in 2003.
The controversy takes place as the Vatican seeks to contain damage caused by an array of sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church.
