A 56-year-old Catholic priest in
Pennsylvania has been charged with
molesting a 15-year-old boy after cops say
he was caught in the act.
Father W. Jeffrey Paulish was found with the
boy -- who was wearing no pants -- in a car
on the Penn State University campus last
Thursday.
Initially, Father Paulish told police he was
walking around the campus working on his
homily and met the boy by chance.
That the boy was in emot
onal distress and needed counseling which
he was offering the boy, only to later admit
that he had placed an advertisement on the
"casual encounters" section of Craigslist
website and the two agreed to meet. He also
admitted to looking at male pornography.
Father Paulish was immediately removed
from his assignment by the church, and his
faculties to exercise priestly ministry were
suspended.
He's currently facing charges of indecent
contact with a minor, indecent exposure and
corruption of a minor.
