Vatican Paedophilia Scandal: Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski Stored Over 100,000 Child Porn Videos

Vatican Paedophilia Scandal: Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski Stored Over 100,000 Child Porn Videos

A former Vatican archbishop accused of paedophilia stored tens of thousands of child porn videos and photos on a computer in his office at the Holy See diplomatic compound in the Dominican Republic, it has emerged.

Details of Jozef Wesolowski's massive child porn stash have been revealed after the 66-year-old was arrested at the Vatican earlier this week.

He is the highest-ranking Vatican official ever to be investigated for sex abuse, and the first top papal representative to receive a defrocking sentence. He has been charged with sexually abusing minors and child porn possession and might face up to seven years in the Vatican's tiny jail.

Vatican detectives analysed the PC Wesolowski used in his office in Santo Domingo, where he served as Holy See envoy from 2008 to 2012 as part of an investigation into the alleged sexual abuse of underage boys.

Maybe this will cause as much outrage amongst the religious as a tweet from Richard Dawkins.

...and if you put in a full time work week (let's pretend that's still just 40 hrs), that would take you 42 freaking work weeks to just watch them all, if you did it with no breaks, end to end, with no pauses. Throw in those and you've basically got an entire work year, if by work you mean fucking horror.

if someone DARED to post this in a certain group. Because as we all know, the REAL problem isn't an organized religion that teaches its hierarchy are on a special level w.r.t. secular law (i.e., above it). No, the REAL problem is with the people who point that out.
