Andrzej Lepper
Two Polish politicians have been sentenced to prison, having been found guilty of charges related to rape and repeated sexual abuse.
Former Deputy Prime Minister, Andrzej Lepper, has been sentenced to over 2 years in prison for having been found guilty in the scandal. Fellow politician, Stanislaw Lyzwinski, has also been implicated in the affair and received a sentence of five years in prison.
Lepper, a member of the Self Defense Party, maintains that he is not guilty, despite testimonies by Aneta Krawczyk, the key witness in the case, of rape and sexual abuse. (mmj)
