schema:articleBody	A Polish court on Monday jailed Father Arkadiusz Hajdasz for molesting a young boy in a case that ignited national debate on clerical sex abuse in the devout Catholic country. Hajdasz, who pleaded guilty to repeatedly kissing and sexually touching the boy, was sentenced to three years in prison by the court in Pleszew, according to local media. The 52-year-old priest was also banned from working with children and youths for 10 years. The boy, Bartlomiej Pankowiak, was 10 years old when the abuse spanning two years ended in 2000. "I committed the act in question... I'd like to sincerely apologise from the bottom of my humble heart," Hajdasz told reporters last week. "I recognise the enormous harm I caused Mr Bartlomiej through my human weakness, incompetence, sinfulness." Pankowiak and his older brother Jakub, who says he was also abused by the priest, were the subject of a documentary that went viral when it was released on YouTube last year. Viewed nearly eight million times, "Hide and Seek" by Marek and Tomasz Sekielski stunned the nation by discussing abuse by clergy -- a subject that had long been taboo in Poland. The documentary says Hajdasz was shuffled from one parish to another and carried out acts of abuse for a quarter of a century, allegedly with the tacit protection of senior church figures. Several other individuals had also gone to the authorities with accusations of sexual abuse against Hajdasz, but in their cases the statute of limitations had already expired. Jakub Pankowiak told AFP on Monday that "what matters most is that the perpetrator confessed and was convicted." "It's yet another step towards helping the victims regain their dignity and serves as a warning for other sex offenders," he said. amj/mas/spm
