The shock reached the residents of Louisiana (United States) when a Catholic priest, identified as Travis Clark, acknowledged having recorded porn with two women at the altar of the Church he presided over. The facts came to light in 2020, but it wasn't until this week that he pleaded guilty to "gross obscenity."
In addition to the social sanction, the justice system imposed a suspended sentence of three years of monitored probation, as well as a fine of 1,000 dollars. As for their "companions", both accepted charges of vandalism and were given this conditional prison sentence, but only for two years.
The act was revealed when on a September night, and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, a passerby noticed that the temple lights were on. His intrigue led him to approach the windows of the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul and was stunned by what he found. The priest was with two women filming obscene scenes.
In the place, which was set with different lighting, sexual objects and a mobile device located on a tripod were also found, according to the New York Post. Once the citizen took evidence, he called the Police who arrested the now ex-priest, no more than 40 years old.
The other accused women told the police that they were in the temple to participate in "a role play" with the religious (who had been ordained in 2013). Because of what happened, Clark ended up being expelled from the congregation and, according to the American media, he had to compensate the Church for almost $8,170
