St. John's Priest E-Mailed Dirty Home Movies to 'Teen'

2008_10_priest.jpgA chaplain at St. John's University was arraigned yesterday for sending homemade masturbation movies to someone he thought was a 13-year-old boy. It turned out that Father Charles Plock was actually e-mailing a Colorado sheriff the videos in which his face is clearly visible and which appear to have been shot on campus. Plock also serves on the board for Covenant House, the nonprofit organization that shelters runaway teens. One teenage freshman at St. John's called Plock "way too cool to be a priest" while another said to the Daily News, "Father Charlie? No way! He was a pretty all right guy." As he left the Queens courthouse where he appeared yesterday, a crowd heckled Plock shouting "Shame on you!" and "Pedophile!" The $15,000 needed for a bond to have Plock released to psychiatric facility was put up by fellow priests at St. John's.

I hope the Colorado sheriff enjoyed the videos.

Busted!
"Father Charlie? He was a pretty all right guy...to jerk off with"

Cure for pedophilia/pederasty - bullet in the back of the head. 100% guaranteed.

You left out the best comment in the article, from the kid who was like, no way, Father Charlie's going to hell now?

the internets is a wonderful invention,
he probably remembers when you had to send photos through the mail. clergy should not have access to computers or a webcam.

Covenant House once again! Seems like the Most Holy Father Ritter had an understudy...and what a charmer too! "Father Charlie": the kind of moniker reserved for a corpse found at the bottom of a stairwell at Rikers.

What do you expect from a church that dresses
their superiors in capes and gowns and funny hats?
Lawsuits are acoming again to the Vatican.
Ritter the pervert was sent by this Holy Church
to India,where the kids molested don't complain
no doubt,shame.

Father Charles Plock is an Obama supporter without a doubt.

"His face is clear in the video. It looks like he filmed it in his bathroom at St. John's..."

Ewwwww......
