sexual abuse of a minor, possession of child pornography, etc. How could this be since Vatican City is a country that has worldwide jurisdiction for prosecuting crime. It's pretty simple, until recently there were no anti-pedophilia laws in the penal code. Pope Francis introduced the changes in 2013. Max sentence is 12 years. You can get a lot more than in the US just for possession of child porn.
