A Polish priest has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for sex and drug crimes after a man collapsed during an orgy at his home.
According to Polish media, the victim had taken too many erectile dysfunction pills. An ambulance was called but when paramedics arrived they were refused entry and were only able to administer aid after police arrived.
The priest, referred to as Tomasz Z, was sentenced for sexual offences, supplying drugs and failing to provide assistance to a person in danger of loss of life or serious bodily harm.
He was also ordered to pay the victim 15,000 zlotys (£3,000) in damages and several thousand zlotys to a fund set up to help crime victims.
The trial took place behind closed doors, state news agency PAP reported, adding that sources had indicated there would not be an appeal.
The Diocese of Sosnowiec in southwest Poland has been engulfed in scandal since reports of the sex party in the town of Dabrowa Gornicza emerged in 2023.
Grzegorz Kaszak, the bishop of the diocese, stepped down but the Vatican gave no reason for his resignation. Tomasz Z was discharged from the clergy in 2023 after the media reports.
The diocese’s press office was approached for comment.
