The spokesperson of the Romanian Orthodox Church, Vasile Bănescu, calls the statements of priest Nicolae Tănase from Valea Plopului according to which “if a boy abuses a girl, she is also guilty”, as “barbaric clericalized thinking, against reason, gentleness and theology”.
Priest Nicolae Tănase from Valea Plopului declared, in Constanţa, that girls who are sexually assaulted should go to prison, stating that “beautiful girls attract boys and then the boys go to prison for shooting girls”. He pointed out that those boys will go to prison, but “the girls are not really innocent” and they should also serve three, four months in prison.
Vasile Bănescu criticized priest Tănase in a post on Facebook.
