Priest engages in hanky-panky. Gets charged. [View all]

Tis a priest this time. Perhaps a "full blown" priest...

A Catholic priest has been charged with patronizing a prostitute.

Father Andrezej Pawlel Skrzypiec was arrested Aug. 24 near 200 North 900 West in Salt Lake City during an undercover prostitution sting where police were targeting "johns," according to a probable cause affidavit filed in 3rd District Court.

Fr. Skrzypiec initially accused the undercover officer as being a "cop," but eventually agreed to pay $30 for a sex act, the affidavit claimed. After making the agreement, Skrzypiec was arrested and charged with one count of patronizing a prostitute, a class-A misdemeanor.

The Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City told FOX 13 that Fr. Skrzypiec is currently on administrative leave pending the outcome of the charges. Over the weekend, a statement was read from the pulpit at Saint Ambrose Church in Salt Lake City and at J.E. Cosgriff Memorial School, where Skrzypiec worked.
