Church altar ordered to be burned after priest filmed threesome with dominatrixes

'His desecration of the altar was demonic'

A former priest has pleaded guilty to obscenity after he was caught having a threesome with two dominatrix on an altar. Travis Clark, who was a priest at Pearl River's Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, admitted a felony count of obscenity after he was caught on September 30, 2020. He had been uncovered when a passerby saw lights on in the church at 11pm and decided to investigate. To their shock, they peered through the window to see Clark in the midst of a threesome with the two dominatrix, and a tripod and camera set up to record the whole thing.

Prosecutors say Clark was seen stripped on the holy table with two women wearing high-heel boots and corsets.

Clark received a suspended three-year prison sentence along with three years of supervised probation and he was also ordered to pay a fine of $1,000 (£870), reports NOLA.com. Melissa Cheng, 30, and Mindy Dixon, 43, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanour counts earlier this year.

Clark was also defrocked by the church. Aymond said: "His obscene behaviour was deplorable. His desecration of the altar in the church was demonic. "I am infuriated by his actions." At a courthouse in the city of Covington, Clark's defence attorney Michael Kennedy said $8,000 (£6,930) had already been paid to the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

In response to the sentencing and the removal of Clark's priesthood, Kennedy stated: "I believe my client is far less likely to find himself in a similar situation ever again.

"Wherever life takes Mr. Clark from here, I hope it finds him well and able to put this fully behind him."
