At least they were over 18 and not boys. I wonder if he got a discount by blessing them before they started. > **[Priest recorded having group sex on altar of Pearl River church, police say;...](https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_828bb53e-09ad-11eb-9c98-fbed3af1d69a.html)** > > Pastor, adult film actor and dominatrix for hire, another woman booked with obscenity ---

old joke : 85 year old guy goes to confession and tells the priest he just had sex with a beautiful 25 year old girl. Priest says are you a member of this church? Guys says no, I am actually Jewish. Priest says "why are you telling me this? Guy says “I am telling everybody!” ---

You know, I’m really not sure why any of this is a matter for law enforcement and the secular courts. I can certainly understand that the local Catholic diocese would want to ~~defrock~~ …uh…remove this priest from being a pastor (and from being a priest more generally) mighty quick. But I really can’t see _arresting_ him (and his partners) and booking them for offenses against the laws of the state. _“Obscenity”?_ It’s the 21st century! ---

From the link. > Dixon and Melissa Cheng, 23, were booked on the same count as Clark, 37. Police said the charge stems from from “obscene acts [that] occurred on the altar, **which is clearly visible from the street**.” ---

Travis Clark, the priest who’s been arrested, was assigned to this parish last year when the previous priest, Pat Wattigny, was arrested for sexually abusing a minor. ---

"The lights inside Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in Pearl River were on later than usual on Sept. 30, so a passerby stopped to take a closer look. Peering inside, the onlooker saw the small parish’s pastor half-naked having sex with two women on the altar, according to court documents." Yeah, his lawyers are going to rip that “visible from the street” crap to shreds. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/priest-caught-having-sex-with-2-women-in-church/922574.md?page=2)
