Prominent Polish Child Psychologist Admits Sexually Abusing Minors

Authorities in Poland say a prominent child psychologist has admitted sexually abusing minors. Andrzej Samson is well known for writing extensively about raising children, and has also served as a court expert in pedophilia cases. He was taken into custody last month amid police suspicions about his link to pornographic photographs discovered in a garbage dump near his Warsaw home. A prosecutor has told reporters that Samson has admitted to charges in the case. Poland has cracked down on pedophilia in recent years. Word of Samson's case follows the convictions of two Roman Catholic priests of child sex abuse.
