Priest admits having sex with inmates

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Some of you people that are outraged need to understand that in most state laws this charge of sexual abuse does not necessarily mean the sexual relationships were not consensual. Because they are prisoners, they are basically treated like children, in that they are unable to consent. Therefore, technically her boyfriend could be charged with a similar crime in some states if he somehow happened to have sex with her while she was in prison. Maybe some places have a marriage exemption, but like altmaty said, he cold have been incarcerated just for allegations of consensual sexual relations with these women.

Might still be wrong, especially for a priest, but not as wrong as actually forcing the women to do these things. Could very well have been the woman's idea and he will still be charged with this.

Agreed. There's nothing sick or perverted in consensual sex between two adults.

This is what happens when people think they can transcend being human in the name of religion. Oops, you're still a person who's gotta get laid somehow.

There's plenty of scandal in any religion, the Catholic ones seem to be making more news is all.

maybe i was a wee bit harsh callin him a perv but at the end of the day........ he broke his vow of celibacy.......... he should be stripped of his priesthood and ex-communicated from the catholic church.

He is not a good role model, nor are the rest of the catholic priests that partake in sexual activities, whether consent was given or not. They should be horse-whipped!!

The Catholic Church needs to re-affirm its stance on its vow of celibacy, this whole malarky is a disgrace. They try to tell us one thing but our priests do another.

The Catholic church needs to re-evaluate a lot of things, including priests & celibacy. It's silly in this day & age.

Yes. Very good point. The only thing drawing attention to this is the word 'priest'.

Alex, I'm positive there's a small number of humans fully capable of transcending that aspect of their humanity. Problem with organized religions are that they try to create armies of such people when the actual pool of humanity capable of such strength is quite small.

JMHO of course.

Completely agree. He's a human being with rights just like all of us. Sex is not dirty, it's a natural, normal thing for two consenting adults.
