PEOPLES GAZETTE reports that a liberal LGBTQ rights advocate Krzysztof Falinski, from Szczecin who had abused the youngster, was found guilty in 2021 and has since been imprisoned.
Though his victims have never been named in the media, however in December, the editor-in-chief of Radio Szczecin, Tomasz Duklanowski, revealed the identity of Mr Falinski’s victims on the station’s website.
Tomasz Duklanowski said that the son of a “well-known legislator” was among those he abused.
The family’s lawyer revealed that the young boy started getting phone calls and texts from friends inquiring if he had been sexually molested soon after Radio Szczecin reported the information.
This included messages from his mother’s political opponents as well.
The lawyer said, “It was not just his classmates who learned about his abuse. The whole of Poland found out.”
