Read the norms. Those who violate Canon Law are subject to that law. Those who violate Civil law are subject to that law. A priest who abuses a minor is guilty under both of these laws.

Antinomianism Antinomianism (a term coined by Martin Luther, from the Greek ἀντί, "against" + νόμος, "law") is a belief or tendency in most religions that some therein consider existing laws as no longer applicable to themselves.[1] The term originated in the context of a minority Protestant view that since faith itself alone is sufficient to attain salvation, adherence to religious law is not necessary,[2] and religious laws themselves are set aside or "abrogated" as inessential.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinomianism
