Quote from Timothy Fitzpatrick on November 11, 2021, 15:53Pedophile priest received 18 years in prison for molesting 53 boys A priest in the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAO) sentenced to 18 years in prison a priest who abused 53 underage boys. Also, the second person involved in this criminal case, the bell ringer, received 12 years in a strict regime colony. It is already known that the 39-year-old hieromonk Spiridon (in the world Yuri Abramov) was the rector of the Church of the Holy Prophet Elijah in the village of Amurzet in the Oktyabrsky district of the Jewish Autonomous Region, and since 2007, with his assistant, 26-year-old bell ringer Sergei Moos, has seduced young children. During the searches, the security forces confiscated items that were not intended for divine services. Simultaneously with the verdict of the court for the crimes committed, the Church Court of the Birobidzhan diocese defrocked the priest. At the last meeting, guided by the set of canonical rules, taking into account the recognition by Hieromonk Spiridon of his guilt in the corruption of 53 underage boys, his violation of monastic vows and the priestly oath, he decided to recognize that his sinful acts fall under the canonical rules. It was decided, as it is said on the official website of the diocese, that "on this basis, the hieromonk who was prohibited from serving was recognized as subject to ejection from the priesthood." This decision of the ecclesiastical court was sent for approval to the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill. Earlier, SKNews reported that the Priozersk City Court of the Leningrad Region, the priest of the Russian Orthodox Church , Gleb Grozovsky, was sentenced to 14 years in a strict regime colony for the abuse of three girls.
