The District Court in Warsaw dismissed the prosecution against W.S. for two counts of malicious harassment under Article 107 of the Penal Code. The defense argued that the lower court erred in fact-finding and evidence evaluation regarding the victim's statements. The appellate court ruled that the prosecution was barred because the limitation period for criminal liability had expired for both alleged offenses by January 2019.
