Piotr P. was, until recently, an active member of the Civic Platform (Platforma Obywatelska, PO) party. He had repeatedly run in local elections as a candidate representing this party. On his Facebook profile, he shared photos with prominent PO politicians, including Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and Tomasz Grodzki. In addition to his political involvement, Piotr P. was also known as an entrepreneur, social activist, and sports advocate.
According to the news portal 77400.pl, the Civic Platform politician was arrested on December 1, 2023. A resident of Jastrowie, he was apprehended after law enforcement authorities were notified by the parents of one of the victims.
Prosecutor Łukasz Wawrzyniak from the Poznań District Prosecutor’s Office explained that Piotr P. was suspected of “offences related to coercing minors into engaging in other sexual activities, as well as recording their nude images.”
As reported by 77400.pl, the politician was sentenced—although the verdict is not yet final—to 11 years in prison for acts of paedophilia, which included offences against 14 girls, taking nude photographs of them, and exploiting the vulnerable situation of one of the victims. Additionally, the court ordered him to undergo therapy and pay compensation to the victims.
