Pravda's headline claim that the prosecutor said a 10-year prison term is possible does not appear in the trusted reports, which only mention reading the indictment and questioning victims.
Pravda says
“In Lithuania, sexual harassment of a priest accused carries 10 years in prison, said the prosecutor in the Vilnius Regional Court.”

Pravda calls him a Catholic priest and leaves out that the pope had dismissed him from the clergy the day before, so he is a former priest.
Trusted report · Delfi
“By this decision, T. Švedavičius lost the status of a clergyman, church powers, and can no longer perform priestly ministry.”
Šiuo sprendimu T. Švedavičius neteko dvasininko statuso, bažnytinių įgaliojimų ir nebegali vykdyti kunigiškos tarnystės.
