The State Commission on Pedophilia began monitoring the case of Kamila L. only after media reports, at the end of March, after the court’s verdict had been issued. She is an activist of the Civic Coalition who was convicted for failing to provide assistance to her daughter, who was a victim of pedophilic crimes. The Regional Court in Świdnica may have something to hide, as it refused to grant the Commission access to the case files, according to information obtained by the portal Niezależna.pl.
Niezależna.pl asked the State Commission on Pedophilia what actions it had taken in connection with the scandalous case of pedophilia in Kłodzko, which shocked public opinion. On March 19, the Regional Court in Świdnica sentenced a 41-year-old woman, Kamila L., to 6.5 years in prison for failing to assist a minor who had been subjected to sexual abuse. The prosecution had requested an 18-year sentence. The woman was also charged with animal abuse; she had been a witness to acts of a zoophilic nature. The perpetrator was her husband, Przemysław L. A week earlier, he had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for these and other crimes, including those of a zoophilic nature.
Delayed Actions and a Surprising Court Decision
Pursuant to its statutory powers under Article 25 of the Act on the State Commission for Counteracting Sexual Exploitation of Minors under 15, the institution began monitoring the proceedings before the Regional Court in Świdnica against Kamila L. (now W.). According to the responses Niezależna.pl received, the actions were initiated ex officio on March 23, 2026, “as a result of media reports.” This means they were undertaken very late. The State Commission requested information from the Regional Court in Świdnica and applied for access to the full case files, including those from the preparatory proceedings. Importantly, the court refused to provide them, citing “the interests of the case.” What does it have to hide?
Further Delayed Decisions
Earlier, the Commission had analyzed the case files in the proceedings against Przemysław L. In that instance, the court acted differently, and the files were made available. However, the Commission only took up that case when the criminal proceedings against Przemysław L. had already reached the court stage. The court has still not prepared the written justification for the verdict.
“The State Commission has analyzed the ruling issued in that case and is awaiting the preparation and release of its written justification. At that point, all materials obtained from the court will be reviewed again, primarily in terms of compliance with substantive and procedural law. Any observations regarding irregularities in the system for protecting minors as victims will be presented in the Commission’s annual report. Moreover, if potential gaps in the child protection system are identified, the Commission will refer the matter to the competent authorities, which are also legally obliged to take action to protect minors,
” according to the Commission’s response to questions from Niezależna.pl.
The Commission only took up the case ex officio at an advanced stage of the proceedings before the court of first instance. As a result, as it admitted in its responses, it did not monitor the preparatory proceedings. “In view of the above, the Commission did not undertake direct actions toward law enforcement authorities at the stage of the investigation,” the state institution acknowledged.
