Psychology - Abuse and Recovery

From BBC News (UK): Polish prosecutors are investigating claims that Deputy Prime Minister Andrzej Lepper* employed a woman on condition that she had sex with him.

A former local councillor for Mr Lepper's Self Defence party made the claim in the Gazeta Wyborcza paper.

Mr Lepper denies he had sex with the woman and says her claim is "insane".

The BBC's Adam Easton says the scandal will embarrass Polish PM Jaroslaw Kaczynski, elected last year promising a "moral revolution".

Mr Lepper is Poland's agriculture minister as well as one of four deputy prime ministers.

Lepper was profiled by the BBC in January, 2002:

"Andrzej Lepper went through the last Polish election sporting an Elvis-style quiff and a sunbed tan - but don't be deceived, he used to be a boxer.

He doesn't hesitate to throw hecklers onto piles of manure and he blocks roads with imported grain.

He once led peasants in a raid on a big poultry producer, distributing the sausages he found in the refrigerators to the local poor.

The chorus of his party song is: This land is your land, this land is my land, we won't let anyone punch us in the face.

Poland, says Lepper - leader of the Self Defence party - has already been walloped too often. Walloped by a fist marked Brussels.
