– This is not a policy. This is a story about a man who needs to be judged fairly – says Magda N., who accuses Jacek Kurski's son of sexual harassment. It is said that he was raped for the first time when he was nine years old. Then again. This case was brought to the prosecutor's office, but it was stopped twice in the time of law and justice.
– This is a story about a child who has been abused many times and is struggling with very difficult problems in adult life, – says Mrs. Magda. – This was not a one-time incident, it happened again several years ago. It started before I was 10 years old, he adds.
The trauma of these events returned during treatment. For years, Ms. Magda tried not to think about it and forget it. – Denial, persecution mechanism, separation mechanism, getting away from these feelings – points out Dr. Alexandra Lewandowska, national consultant in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry.
“It has nothing to do with politics.”
Only years later, she was able to seek justice, but the prosecutor's office did not believe her and stopped the investigation twice. Then Magda N. told “Gazeta Wyborcza” her story and revealed that Zdzislaw K., the son of law and justice politician Jacek Kurski, abused her.
– This story is not about any name. This is a story about a man who needs to be judged fairly. I want to make it clear: this is not politics and has nothing to do with politics, Ms. Magda emphasizes.

This sense of injustice and impunity for the perpetrator makes the process of healing from the trauma of abuse much more difficult. – If there is a belief that I am alone with this, no one believed me, a person who did not commit such harm will not see any consequences, then we have a significantly higher risk of developing various mental disorders. greater risk of suicidal behavior – warns Alexandra Lewandowska.
This is another element of this story – about the justice system that should have intervened, but Magda completely failed. Gazeta Wyborcza reports how, when Zbigniew Ziobro was in charge of the prosecution, the case was “closed” because it involved the son of a prominent PiS politician and head of the regime's television station.
“Instead of bringing the person accused of these actions to justice, the prosecution did everything to prevent justice,” explained Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Minister Adam Bodnar appointed a special team
The Minister of Justice appointed a team at the National Prosecutor's Office to determine which investigations since Ziobro's time had been stopped by political orders because PiS politicians were protected.
The Gdańsk Prosecutor's Office concluded that the case of Magda's sexual assault by the son of a PiS politician was an investigation that was stopped twice – without reason. The work of two prosecutors was checked. There was a suspicion that they had tampered with the evidence, but the Poznań prosecutor stated that there was no tampering. He refused to initiate an investigation.
– The decision is at least premature and the investigation and evidence in this case should continue. Therefore, today's decision to start an investigation, says Lukash Wawrzyniak, the spokesman of the Poznań District Prosecutor's Office.
The National Prosecutor's Office will also review the case. The state commission on pedophilia has requested the case file. – It is a pity that the State Commission did not control this work earlier. This worries me, I pay attention to this issue, says the head of the said committee, Karolina Buchko.

Investigation of sexual assault against Magda N. No one has been charged. The Prosecutor's Office of Torun asked the Gdansk court to interrogate the injured party.
– This action should be performed immediately. Mariusz Kazmierczak from the Gdansk District Court says that the interrogation will take place in a special room with the participation of an expert psychologist.
Magda is still very fragile. That's why he doesn't reveal his face. We changed his voice. He decided to tell his story to the reporter of “Polska i Shvyat” program on TVN24. – I am also here for the benefit of those other girls who never speak, are silent and afraid, because we do not have enough care for people after such injuries, – says Mrs. Magda.
There is a long way to go to end this case. The change is that the justice system acts and does not dismiss the case.
