The court made a decision in the case of Krzysztof S. Mariusz Zielke comments bluntly

There is a court verdict in the case of Krzysztof S., who was accused of sexual abuse of children under 15 years of age. It concerns the period when the man was the creator of the music band “Tęcza” and the cult television programs “Tęczowy Music Box” and “Co jest grane”. The indictment against the musician was received following the publications of investigative journalist Mariusz Zielke, who accused the artist of sexual abuse of minors.

A series of materials published since 2019 led to a prosecutor’s investigation. In November 2022, the Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office discontinued the investigation into this case due to the statute of limitations, but in December of the same year, the musician was charged with committing a crime relating to acts that were not time-barred. He allegedly committed a pedophilic act in 2017 in Puławy during jazz workshops for children and teenagers.

Krzysztof S. pleaded not guilty and sued Mariusz Zielke for infringement of personal rights, demanding PLN 50,000. PLN compensation. The District Court in Warsaw issued a judgment in this case, dismissing the famous musician’s civil claim in its entirety. “This is the first court verdict in one of the largest pedophilia scandals in the history of Poland,” commented Mariusz Zielke.

Mariusz Zielke triumphs. The court decided in the case of Krzysztof S.

In an interview with PAP, the investigative journalist emphasized that judge Agnieszka Rafałko, taking into account the evidence collected in the case, concluded in her justification that “the defendant’s actions in the form of publishing materials are not unlawful.”

She emphasized that “the illegality of this action was excluded by the public interest. And this is a very important social interest, which is the protection of the youngest people against behavior that directly harms the youngest people physically and mentally.”

Mariusz Zielke also said that the judge found that the journalist exercised the greatest care and reliability and faithfully presented the witnesses’ testimonies, and that the evidence was devastating for Krzysztof S..

This is the first court verdict in this huge pedophilia scandal, so important to me because finally some objective, independent body, and also a court, confirmed that the evidence I collected is true, that I have not exaggerated or confabulated anywhere. , I just presented the whole matter honestly to the public – concluded Zielke.

He also announced that on Friday he will publish another documentary about child sexual abuse, “Bagno2: Przemilczane”, which will be the second installment of the famous film he published at the end of June. It was after the publication of “Bagna” that the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw commented on the case.

“The charge concerns an incident in 2017 that took place in Puławy during jazz workshops organized for children and teenagers by an association whose president at that time was the accused Krzysztof S.” – explained prosecutor Szymon Banna then.
