Prosecutors are investigating complaints that a British man has been abusing girls as young as 13 or 14 years of age at a sports facility in Krakow, southern Poland.

The TOK FM radio station is reporting that the suspect is currently being detained by police.

The case came to the attention of law enforcement authorities after parents made a complaint against the man who is thought to be running classes at the facility, which is not being named to protect the identities of the teenagers.

The investigation into the complaints could take up to several months. (pg)
