A judge found catholic priest Father Frank Murd not guilty of sexual imposition today. The diocese removed Murd from Saint joseph's in Maumee in April. That's when Murd was first accused of improperly fondling another man in a hot tub.

Lawyers for both sides agree Father Frank Murd fondled another man in a JCC hottub. Prosecutors could not convince judge James Jensen that the accuser clearly objected to Murd's actions. "We disagree with the judge's decision," says Mike Loisel of the Lucas County Prosecutor's office.

The prosecution believes Murd knew he offended the alleged victim. "We think he knew it was because he got out of the hot tub and apologized that minute to the victim," says Loisel.

Notice, "Father" Murd wasn't acquitted because he didn't do it, he was acquitted merely because the judge "wasn't convinced" that the guy whom he fondled, and who subsequently called the police on the right reverend, wasn't "offended" by the fondling.

Did murd have a broke jaw?

Being in the hot tub with Murd would be grounds for dismissal in my court.

Father Murd, or Father Turd?

Sounds like a Murd burglar.

Does this also mean it’s ok to fondle a woman in a hot tub without her consent?
