QuoteA 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.
The probe reportedly revealed a collection of horrors. The Polish native held more than 100,000 sexually-explicit files, Il Corriere della Sera newspaper reported.

Some 160 videos showing teenage boys forced to perform sexual acts on themselves and on adults and more than 86,000 pornographic photos were meticulously archived in several category-based folders, the paper said.
Investigators said that at least another 45,000 pictures were deleted, while a second stash of material was found on a laptop Wesolowski used during his trips abroad.
The former clergyman was placed under house arrest in a pre-trial detention at the Vatican earlier this week. He has been detained in a small room in the basement of the Collegio dei Penitenzieri, a convent located in the same building hosting the Vatican's court and military police in the famous Santa Marta square.
Investigators are also probing whether there was a network of people who helped him to set up sexual encounters and if he committed other abuse during his previous posts around the world.
Before arriving in Santo Domingo, Wesolowski served as apostolic nuncio in Bolivia and Central Asia - covering Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kirghizstan and Uzbekistan - after holding less prominent roles in Southern African, Costa Rica, Japan, Switzerland, India and Denmark.
He was recalled to Rome last year, after Dominican Republic media alleged he hired "rent boys" and was subsequently banished from the clergy, after a canonical court found him guilty of sex abuse.
His trial is expected to start in January.
What the FUCK. How many of these creeps are guiding innocent people?
Oooh boy, I knew right from the title it was going to be THAT kind of thing.
Why is it always children with these disgusting creeps? I've got porn on my pc but it's all full grown adults and nothing beyond vanilla type stuff.
Also fuck the Vatican arresting him, I know these creeps are powerfully and rich as pigs but why do they get to meet out justice within its own system, I'd stick these dirty motherfuckers in a proper prison and let everyone know he raped children, see him get made into someone's Bitch for the remainder of his life.

Perhaps pedophiles are attracted to positions in which they hold power over the little ones.
I hope the monster never gets out of jail.

Which says a lot about the position these disgusting bastards hold and how they obtain it, maybe even why they obtain it.
Funny thing, I think it was back about 10 years ago when I began to take notice on just how many cases of paedophilia came from Catholic leaders, Christians and Islamic followers that I began to question religious doctorine as a whole, despite how passionate it's followers were for there own belief, let's just say it was the crack that began to reveal the illusion
The Vatican has a jail? A tiny one? LOL I don't know why I think that's funny. I'd like to see a picture of one of it's cells. I just can't wrap my head around the concept.
Reminds me of Varrick of 'the legend of korra' or Vetinari of 'the discworld' saga. I imagine them knowing that they figured that eventually they'd probably wind up in a jail at some point and just decided to make their own. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Vatican's cel for the bishop is more luxurious than the fanciest house in my homecity.
Kind of makes you wonder if they made the jail just to appear face to the public and press, making it seem like they take pedophilia seriously in the vatican, when in truth they encourage it.
I'm sure its a very kush little room where he can read the bible all day and think about what he's done
Sounds more like a time out to me
I have this picture in my head of looking through the bars of a cell which sports a Lazy Boy recliner, and floor lamp, television, and has been furnished by an interior decorator. But I suspect there are no bars, and I doubt the archbishop will actually go there anyway.

Doesn't the bible have enough stories in it of underage sex and slavery and rape being a'okay?
The Pope will probably sentence him to the cell for one hour three times a week, so tourists can gawk at him on guided tours of the Holy City. He will be sitting on the edge of his bunk in his slippers looking all penitent. Of course, he will still be on the payroll, and still have access to his porn site when he's not in the cell.
I think this is even worse then the average pedophile because he is in a position of trust and respect, like a crooked police officer, teacher, or military officer.

I have a feeling this is the case.... :(
I once spent some hours in a Catholic Parish priest's domicile in the Bronx while my friends went furniture shopping. He had the biggest collection of Playboy magazines I've ever seen, and a fully stocked free bar. True story. Kept urging pitchers of beer on me. I wonder why....
I like what Alfred Hitchcock said when he saw children with a Vicar walking behind them: "Run kids, run for your life."
Well if its down to the vatican what happens to him we all know that it '' wont be much.
He should be on trial in the highest court in the land preferably not an italian one, cos i dont think justice could ever be done in that country..........
"The Archbishop's Porn Collection" sounds like a new HBO series.
