Gabriel DeJesus Back At Work At Sacred Heart School For The Arts On Monday; N.Y. Archdiocese Investigating.
GREENBURGH, N.Y. (CBS) ― A Westchester County Catholic school principal is in serious trouble after he was arrested for allegedly going on a naked sexual romp with two other men in the backyard of a vacant home in the Orchard Hill section of town on Sunday.
Gabriel De Jesus, 41, of Ossining told police he was the principal of Sacred Heart School for the Arts, a Catholic elementary school at 71 Sharpe Blvd. in Mount Vernon.
DeJesus was still running the elementary school Monday when he was reached for comment. He would only said he made a mistake.
Authorities said DeJesus, Francesco Autera, 31, of Thornwood and another man met online. The trio allegedly picked the backyard of a vacant Abbeyville Lane home to conduct their group sex. An alert neighbor called 911 after noticing something suspicious.
"Two men got out and met a third person on the side of my house and they went on that property and that's when I called 911," neighbor Rich Pacheco said.
Police found DeJesus and Autera naked and arrested both. They are charged with misdemeanor trespassing, public lewdness and disorderly conduct. The third man ran naked down the street before he could be apprehended, according to police.
The New York Archdiocese said it is looking into the matter and plans to speak with police. Officials add that DeJesus has been a well-regarded educator up until this point.
Well, there’s a shocker /sarcasm
Must have been on the track team in Seminary.
Don’t worry. If the so-called gay rights movement succeeds in imposing its agenda on the rest of the country, then not only would the kind of activities these guys were engaging in be perfectly legal but no school, public or private, would have the right to fire or deny employment to anyone who engaged in this sort of thing. Indeed, that would be considered discrimination or even a hate crime.
You may not believe this, but I've heard that M.O. before:

I suspect he feels his "mistake" was getting caught...
What, three fags having sex in the backyard of an unoccupied house? I guess that depends on what neighborhood you live in. /s
I feel sorry for the neighbor that had to witness the gay porn show. Where are the vicious dogs when you need one? Chopper ! Sick Balls !
“mistake”
In the old days wasn’t that behavior called a sin?
The cops would get five years in jail if they were in Brazil.
“The third man ran naked down the street before he could be apprehended, according to police.

Also could have been an alter boy - remember Oliphant’s famous cartoon “The Annual Running Of The Alter Boys At St. Paedophilia’s Roman Catholic Church”?
The Associated Press reported recently that three insurance companies receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by Protestant clergy, challenging the assumption that clergy sexual abuse is an exclusively Catholic problem that does not take place in other churches.
That is a higher number than the annual average of 228 “credible accusations” brought against Catholic clerics in records reported by the Catholic Church in response to media scrutiny, a priest observed in a Fox News commentary questioning why the story isn’t garnering more attention.

So you assume there are the same number of Protestant clergy as Catholic clergy.
I think you are badly mistaken. For instance, we have 39 Baptist Churches listed for our area and the vast majority of churches in our area are not Baptist. There are two Catholic churches listed for our area.
Excerpt - http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/priest_abuse_suits/
In a surprise move, Portland Archbishop John G. Vlazny today released 2,000 pages of documents on priests accused of sexually abusing Oregon children.....(snip)
Bud Bunce, a spokesman for the Archdiocese, said the release had nothing to do with Pope Benedict XVI's trip to the United States or his apology for church's sex abuse scandal.
Portland attorneys who have filed sex abuse suits against the Archdiocese expressed bafflement over the unscheduled release, which comes less than 2 weeks after one round of failed mediation and a day before another is set to start.
"I don't know how the Archdiocese thinks," said attorney Kelly Clark. "I just don't get it."
“The Associated Press reported recently that three insurance companies receive upward of 260 reports each year of young people under 18 being sexually abused by Protestant clergy, challenging the assumption that clergy sexual abuse is an exclusively Catholic problem that does not take place in other churches.

It states what it states, but you make a good point about the smaller and fractured protestant denominations. Many think there is massive under reporting of sex abuse due to the lack of cohesive organization in protestant denominations.

Perversion bothers me even more than normal when its a person of the cloth caught doing it. We put these people in a tremendous position of trust and look to them for moral guidance so I hold them to a higher standard than I do a guy who works at 7/11.
The article does not state if he was a man of the cloth, just that he was a principal.
He still is church affiliated and acting as an agent for the church and that still makes it bad.
If it is 260 to 228, that is colored by the fact there are probably 100 Protestant clergy for every Catholic clergy. If this problem truly was the same between the two, the number should be more like 22,800 to 228.
Granted, the Catholics kinda became an ATM for everyone who wanted to make an accusation so their number is inflated by people looking for a buck
Statistics are crazy things. You have to control for different variables. I don’t think you’ve done that.
But the point is that there is sexual abuse in all denominations and faiths.
Yes, we should hold those with a position of trust or authority over children to a much higher standard.
Granted. But the Catholic Church spent decades not dealing with this problem. Not only that, there is a centuries old methodology at work here. The Castrada weren’t just good singers.
I heard a report one time by a conservative Catholic group that stated that many priests in seminary viewed celibacy as “not having sex with women”. The commentator recommended a purge of homosexuals from the priesthood and the seminaries but he opined that it would cause open rebellion. I don’t think this is a Catholic issue alone. I think the Catholics just have to deal with it. It is starting to infect the Protestant church as well.
