VATICAN CITY, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Former Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, a former Vatican diplomat accused of child sexual abuse, has lost his diplomatic immunity, a Vatican spokesman said, and could be tried in the Dominican Republic.
Wesolowski, 66, formerly the Vatican's ambassador to the Dominican Republic, has been defrocked and relieved of priestly duties. He may be tried in the Vatican on criminal charges, but the loss of immunity opens him up to prosecution in the Dominican Republic.
