PEARL RIVER, La. — The St. Tammany Parish District Attorney's Office has formally charged a Northshore priest accused of having sex with two dominatrices on the altar of a Pearl River church with vandalism.
Travis Clark, the 37-year-old former pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church, was caught videotaping himself having sex with two women from out of state -- 41-year-old Mindy Lynn Dixon of Washington state and 28-year-old Melissa Kamon Cheng of Georgia -- on top of the church's altar in September.
The felony charge of institutional vandalism against Clark was formally submitted Thursday. Both women were also charged with vandalism.
The three are accused of “knowingly vandalizing, defacing, or otherwise damaging property and causing damage valued at over $500 and under $50,000," according to District Attorney Warren Montgomery's office.
The Archdiocese of New Orleans removed and burned the altar shortly after the incident came to light. Archbishop Gregory Aymond then consecrated a replacement altar.
In a statement, Aymond answered direct questions posed to him by WWL-TV investigator David Hammer. Among his responses, he called Rev. Travis Clark’s acts “demonic.”
“His obscene behavior was deplorable,” Aymond said. “His desecration of the altar in Church was demonic. I am infuriated by his actions. When the details became clear, we had the altar removed and burned.”
Clark, Cheng and Dixon were originally arrested on obscenity charges because their sex acts were clearly visible from the street, according to police. But an attorney for the women said that the pair were ultimately charged with lesser counts of institutional vandalism.
"It is clear the State went out of its way to contort the facts of this case in order to fit their own narrative," attorney Bradley S. Phillips said. "Once again, they have overstepped their bounds at this nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to regulate the morality of private individuals. Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it criminal. My clients look forward to their day in court as we continue to fight this baseless allegation."
“His obscene behavior was deplorable,” Aymond said. “His desecration of the altar in Church was demonic. I am infuriated by his actions. When the details became clear, we had the altar removed and burned.”
Mr. Clark should have taken those ladies to a motel room instead...
This happened in State of Louisiana...
If this happened in Los Angeles County...Would the DA charge them with any crime?
With females?
Guy kind of looks like that freaky killer in California I think,Ramierez or something, the Night Stalker.
In LA the three of ‘em would have been signing autographs for the fans...
Yeah, that was my initial response.
LOL. There’s a meme from Seinfeld appropriate for every situation.
They would be asking him which actor/actress talent agency he represents.
At least it wasn’t gay s—t.
Guys that part their hair in the middle after 30 or have pony tail after 60 always look suspicious to those of us who can’t.
Wait.
Women?
How refreshing!
Glad they found a charge that they can make fit on that despicable bunch.
Mindy is at least guilty of felony worst hair cut ever.
Wonder if the government and press in Russia will freak out about them being charged the way ours did when the Pussy Riot bunch was arrested for doing the same thing?
I’m not defending what went on here, but I do believe the prosecution is going overboard.
“The Archdiocese of New Orleans removed and burned the altar shortly after the incident came to light.”
Did they replace it with something?
Where do you burn an alter anyway? I mean to make it stick.
Is there an “unholy burn pile” on the outskirts of town?
Did they roast marshmallows?
Did they through in some celebrity twitter feeds?
What prayer was recited during the ceremony?
Is there an “alter burning” prayer? ...or just the exorcism?
Why not burn the church down and start over?
I’m not being smug, just wondering how it all works.
Travis looks like George Thorogood after 10 years of meth addiction.
“I smoke crack alone”
“yeah eah with nobody else”
“You know when I smoke alone?”
“I prefer to have sex on an alter with skanks”
Even this guy and his cohorts are redeamable in the eyes of the Lord should they choose door number 1.
That is the
What has been done to my Church? What shall I do to remain faithful to the Supernatural Bride of Christ? Go to Masses said by these catamites of Satan? Let them pour their heresy into my ears?
John:
6:68. Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?
6:69. And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.
6:70. And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.
I think this guy paid these women to treat him like a "slave"...And he wanted to record the whole activity...
