Jozef Wesolowski, the former Vatican ambassador to the Dominican Republic, has died while awaiting trial for sexually abusing boys. Wesolowski was accused of abusing and taking pornographic photos of poor shoeshine boys in the Dominican capital, Santo Domingo. He would have been the first high-level cleric to stand trial before a Vatican tribunal on charges of child sexual abuse. He was found dead in his Vatican home Friday of what officials say appear to be natural causes. He was 67.
