前神職人員被控性侵兒童，遭梵蒂岡軟禁

The Vatican has put its former ambassador to the Dominican Republic under house arrest on charges of sexually abusing children.

Polish-born ex-Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski was defrocked in June after being found guilty of the charges. He now faces a separate criminal trial for child sex abuse for which he could face imprisonment.

Pope Francis has said no one in the church, from priests to high-ranking cardinals, has any privileges when it comes to allegations of sex abuse.梵蒂岡將一名被指控性侵兒童的前駐多米尼加共和國大使實施軟禁。

在波蘭出生，曾經擔任大主教的約瑟夫·維索洛斯基在今年6月受到性侵兒童指控後被羅馬教廷剝奪神職。他現在面臨性侵兒童的刑事指控。如果被定罪，維索洛斯基可能會被判處監禁。

教宗方濟各說，在性侵指控問題上，教廷的任何神職人員，無論是神父或是紅衣主教，都沒有任何特權。
