In yet another case of disgusting sexual predation, an Italian priest from northern Italy has been accused of pimping out some 15 women, as well as organizing and filming orgies in his rectory.
Forty-eight year-old so-called Father Andrea Contin, parish priest in San Lazzaro in Padua is under police investigation for psychological violence, aiding prostitution and living off immoral earnings. Three female parishioners filed complaints against him with Church and civil authorities.
According to local reports, police uncovered various sex toys and homemade pornography tapes, disguised with labels of the names of different Popes, during a raid of the rectory.
Contin is accused of offering the women’s services on various websites. Several of the women reportedly became involved with Contin after they sought his spiritual advice after the dissolution of their marriages. Rather than offering spiritual direction, Contin reportedly seduced the women and made them perform extreme sex acts.
Several reports say the local bishop failed to contact police after the women filed complaints early last summer. Contin has been suspended from his parish, but he has not yet been arrested.
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.” Revelation 17:4.
