Priest pretended to notify police after teen found camera in church bathroom, records say

[arcane1]

In the 24 days he waited to report that a boy had found a hidden camera in a men's bathroom at his Sherwood church, Father Ysrael Bien pacified parishioners with a tall tale about a nonexistent police investigation, according to court records.

Police believe Bien, 34, was either responsible for the camera or aided and abetted whoever was, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in Washington County Circuit Court.

The Catholic priest "is a part of the investigation," Capt. Ty Hanlon said Tuesday, though police have not named him as a suspect.

A 15-year-old boy found the camera April 26 at St. Francis Catholic Church, the affidavit says. He discovered it in a bathroom with a single toilet and a door to the vesting room, where altar servers and the priest prepare for Mass.

1. Sick Fuck !

Yeah, I'll take an alert for this one.

2. IMO the parents should have gone to the police at once.

More than likely photographs of their son's genitals are flying around the child porn circuit.

3. That's the problem with religious "authority"

People think it actually means something.

Brave to the parents for figuring it out, eventually.

4. I hear you.

Probably why I don't belong to a church! : )
