Vatican Court Convicts Former Pupil of Vatican's Minor Seminary
The Vatican Court of Appeal has convicted Father Gabriele Martinelli, 31, who worked in the Vatican until 2021, of homosexual corruption of a "minor".
The homosexual affair between Martinelli and the complainant began about 15 years ago, when both were minors and pupils at the Vatican's Minor Seminary.
It technically became a crime when Martinelli turned 16, while his accomplice was six months younger and therefore still a minor.
Martinelli was sentenced for "rape" and "acts of lust" to two years and six months in prison and fined 1000 euros.
A first trial had acquitted him in October 2021 due to insufficient evidence. The complainant is of Polish origin and now lives openly as a homosexual.
