Ex-priest pleads guilty for having threesome on top of church altar
An ex-Catholic priest has pled guilty to charges of obscenity after he was caught having sex on the altar of his Louisiana church with two women for a raunchy sex tape.
In a report by FOX8 News Orleans, the priest, identified to be 39-year-old Travis Clark, admitted to the indecent crime that he did with his two partners who were described to be "dominatrices," or a woman who is the dominant sexual partner in a sadomasochistic relationship.
After entering the plea as part of an agreement with prosecutors on Monday, Clark received a suspended three-year sentence and will serve three years of supervised probation.
He previously settled $8,000 (P450,000) to the Archdiocese of New Orleans as replacement for the altar that they performed their obscenity on after it was declared desecrated and ordered to be burned.
The two women, 30-year-old Melissa Cheng and 43-year-old Mindy Dixon, meanwhile admitted to the crime of institutional vandalism back in July and were sentenced to probation.
According to the news outlet, a concerned citizen caught the trio in the act through a window while they were passing by the Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church back in September 2020.
They were reported to be making a sex tape as court documents detailed that recording devices were recovered at the scene by authorities, along with sex toys and stage lights.
According to the New York Post, authorities determined that the parties all consented to the act, but they were still arrested on obscenity charges because they were in view of the public. This led to the immediate removal of Clark from the church.
