A former Catholic priest who used a child to satisfy his “foot fetish” is due to be sentenced this afternoon.
Piotr Antoni Glas (61) was found guilty of three counts of committing acts of gross indecency towards a child after a seven-day trial in April.
After around six hours of deliberation, a jury found that the priest had abused a child by holding his face to the child’s feet while masturbating on a number of occasions.
Glas was also found to have play-wrestled the child, pinning them down, and trapping their head against what the victim described as his “semi-erect” penis, with the child’s feet against the priest’s face.
Jurors acquitted him of two other charges, two fell away, and three more charges were thrown out by the court earlier in the trial.
The former Catholic priest is known as Peter when his name is anglicised.
Glas is due to be sentenced in the Royal Court this afternoon.
