In a rather bizarre and unexpected development, a Roman Catholic priest was arrested for having a threesome on a church altar.
The priest who is based in Louisiana in the United States of America was arrested for allegedly filming himself having sex with two dominatrices on the altar at his Catholic church, a report said Thursday.
The priest, identified by Nola.com as Rev. Travis Clark, was busted after a passerby saw the lights on later than usual on Sept. 30 and peeked inside Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in Pearl River.
The unidentified witness saw the half-naked priest having sex with the two women, who were dressed in corsets and high-heeled boots. The altar was also adorned with stage lighting, several sex toys, and a cellphone mounted on a tripod that was recording the act.
The witness took video footage of the unholy trinity, then called police.
Cops arrested Rev. Clark, along with his two altar servers, 41-year-old Mindy Dixon and 23-year-old Melissa Cheng and booked them on obscenity charges.
The women reportedly told cops they were at the church to film “roleplay” with the priest. Cops determined everything that went on that night was consensual but arrested the trio on the obscenity charges because they were in view of the public.
Nola.com added that Dixon, who is also an adult film actress, had posted on social media a day prior that she was travelling to the New Orleans area to meet up with another dominatrix to “defile a house of God.”
Rev. Clark, who was ordained in 2013, was suspended from the archdiocese after his arrest.
In Roman Catholic tradition, the altar is among the most sacred of church spaces, serving as the focal point of the Mass and the place where a priest consecrates the Eucharist during the sacrament of Holy Communion. According to church law, known as canon law, when sacred places are violated they must be “repaired by penitential rite” before they can be used again in the Mass.
Days after Clark’s arrest, the archbishop of the New Orleans archdiocese Gregory Aymond went to Saints Peter and Paul and performed a ritual to restore the altar’s sanctity.
